Bringing this back to the tail of the thread for suggestions/comments.

Looking at sharky, what I have in mind is a nice curve here to go with the rest of the body styling. I don't have the paint skills to draw it. Use your imagination and tell me what you think of that. I was thinking a nice curve from plan view as well, resembling a receding hairline of midlife crisis :P

My beetle is black. I grabbed this profile off the web.
The finish will be gloss carbon fiber style 284
