They replace heavy steel or rubber-topped boards, won't rust or rot, and are hand-made in Southern California, USA.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRare, hand-made and exclusive.\u003c\/b\u003e Carbon running boards aren't something you'll find at the local parts counter. Each set is hand-made by a specialist carbon fiber builder, not mass-produced, so very few Beetles will ever ride on a pair. They run the full length of the car between the fenders, so they're one of the most visible carbon upgrades you can make.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStock VW running boards are rubber over steel, and they rot from the inside out. These are vacuum-infused carbon fiber, contoured to the Beetle body for a clean, factory-style fit, with a high-gloss weave that catches the light from every angle. A standout on restomods, Cal-look and show builds, and an easy way to shed weight from the sides of the car.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cb\u003eCarbon fiber running board features\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eRare and exclusive:\u003c\/b\u003e hand-made by a specialist builder, never mass-produced\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTrue carbon fiber:\u003c\/b\u003e vacuum-infused high-grade carbon fiber, not an overlay or wrap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eExtremely lightweight:\u003c\/b\u003e drastically lighter than stock steel or rubber-topped running boards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eRust-proof:\u003c\/b\u003e resistant to rust, rot, corrosion and the elements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eFactory-style fit:\u003c\/b\u003e contoured to the Beetle body between the fenders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eShow-quality finish:\u003c\/b\u003e high-gloss carbon weave\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMade in USA:\u003c\/b\u003e hand-made in Southern California\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cb\u003eFitment\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eVW Beetle:\u003c\/b\u003e All years.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cb\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wm-specs\"\u003e\u003ctable class=\"wm-specs\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMaterial\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVacuum-infused high-grade carbon fiber\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFinish\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHigh-gloss carbon fiber weave\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFits\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVW Beetle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMade in\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUSA (Southern California)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuestions builders ask\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eAre these real carbon fiber running boards or a wrap?\u003c\/b\u003e Real, vacuum-infused high-grade carbon fiber, not an overlay or wrap.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eWill they fit my Beetle?\u003c\/b\u003e They're contoured to the Beetle body for a factory-style fit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eWhy carbon instead of stock running boards?\u003c\/b\u003e Stock boards are rubber over steel and rot from the inside.
