EMPI x FOOSE Fiberglass Decklid with Hinge Mounts for VW Type 1 1968-1977

Designed with Chip Foose, this decklid gives a Beetle a smoother custom rear with styled solid air scoops. It is hand laid from two layers of fiberglass in polyester resin for stiffness, with the hinge mounts built in and the license plate light housing already fitted to simplify installation.

Fitment & Compatibility

Fits 1968-1977 VW Type 1. It is compatible with EMPI hinges 00-8666-0 and EMPI latch 98-1034-B, neither of which is included, so order them separately if the originals are not being reused. Because the scoops are solid, plan any ventilation changes before painting. If you are unsure which version suits your build, contact PMB Performance. We have spent over 20 years working through air-cooled fitment questions like this one.
