I'm thinking of buying a Beetle just so I can make it look like a giant pig.
I want to modify the hood to make it look like the snout, but I want it made of soft material, in case I hit a pedestrian, and also so I can make it wiggle or at least squeal when squeezed. I'm thinking of vinyl-coated foam, but how is this done, and who can do it? Also I want the foam to be fairly fire-resistant, in case an engine compartment fire breaks out (New Beetle, not classic).

My dream car is one completely covered with 1-2 foot lengths of stainless steel flex hose.

sheesh. the 60's return. can't you think of anything original? I saw an entire book of vw bugs exterior modifications. I liked the one with the bug covered entirely in grass, or the one covered in indoor/outdoor carpeting.
