Sorry I couldn't get better photos, but when you are waiting for autofocus, and driving, and trying to move through traffic, and the car you are hoping to get a shot of has no idea they should wait for you... nothing turned out very well. Just good enough to get the idea that the custom lights are great, innovative, and I'll keep looking for it to get better photos

Coolest tail lights I've seen in a while, and totally in style for a bug (they are sequential when indicating a turn)

museum quality restored VW bug that was the focus of a lot of attention
most unusual of the few bug deflectors I've come across
Great headrests, first time I've seen anything like them
Great radio, high dollar option?
I can't figure out what the thing is under the shifter knob

Stuff that caught my eye at the Irvine Bugorama this past weekend
I've posted about In and Out coming to events before http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2010/10/in-and-out-burger-mobile-restaurant-was.html
But didn't find out that they charge 7.50 a burger with these mobile jobbers... I want you to know that a doubel cheeseburger and a coke are less than 5 bucks at the restaurant. It's a damn good deal. Didn't know what this was, but Steve came through again! It's a Mexican-built Volkswagen "Hormiga" (means ant). They are known in Germany as the EA489 Basistransporter. Between 1976 and 1977, 3,600 of them were built in Puebla, Mexico. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volkswagen_EA489_Basistransporter has more info, and in the Philipines it is called a Trakbayan
Nice clever way of mounting the portable Coleman stove
Lots of vintage coolers in the swap meet area
Above is a very early bug deflector, below is a tag I've never seen before... don't know what it's about. Maybe a customizer? Or a dealership?
Lots of matched luggage sets
Interesting and cool top
When the new Beetle was first sold about 6 years ago, it was instantly the best way to advertise your company... because everyone looked at it. I never see those advertising Beetles anymore
Above is the electric motor that the many batteries up front were connected to
