When you see a New Beetle, what do you normally think of? A girl driving, some flowers in the dash and those daisy wheels right? Brandon Chasins Beetle without a doubt does NOT fit this discription (Socal).
He recently changed the whole look of the car by running Rotiform BLQ’s on Nitto NeoGens, which fit perfectly flush and really set the car off!
Another recent addition is the Airlift Suspension, which many dubbers are moving over to Airride as a method of allowing the car to still be drivable and being able to maintain the perfect stance! Most of these shots were taken in the industrial areas of downtown LA.

“If it wasn’t for the Airride we wouldn’t have been able to drive around these areas at all” Ignatius McCarthy told us. The roads were so bad that if the beetle was still on a static drop Brandon would have cracked his oil pan open for sure. Enjoy guys.
