KaferLab: Cool Parts for Vintage VWs
Fix up your vintage air-cooled Volkswagen with precision-made KaferLab replacement and custom parts. Every KaferLab part delivers the same high-quality fit and finishes that VW engineered into your Beetle, Bus, Ghia, or Type 3.
Some of the KaferLab products available at Summit Racing include:
Replacement VIN and Data Plates
KaferLab‘s high-grade, Replacement Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and Data Plates are super detailed and look just as good as the real thing. They’re made from the correct gauge steel or anodized aluminum (depending on application) and are a perfect detail to replace missing or damaged plates. Most plates are stamped with the same information originally found on your “Made in Germany” vehicle. Other plates are blank, allowing you to add the correct body code and I.D. number for your vehicle.
KaferLab Replacement VIN and Data Plates are available for most 1950-79 Volkswagen and 1955-75 Karmann Ghia vehicles.
Genuine Rally Hood Straps
Designed to add extra protection against accidental opening, KaferLab Genuine Rally Hood Straps secure hoods, trunks, and more. Unlike traditional leather straps, these are made from NeverRot leatherette that never cracks, fades, or dries out. Deluxe anti-scratch pads make sure the chrome-plated buckles can’t damage your paint, while the double stitching increases their life.
The KaferLab Genuine Rally Hood Straps’ adjustable design ensures a perfect, great-looking fit. They can be installed with screws or 3M Velcro®, whichever you prefer. The straps not only fit VWs, but also Porsche cars and many other vehicles.
Matched Horn Button and Gear Shift Knob Sets
Add some vintage mojo to your classic VW’s interior with a KaferLab Matched Horn Button and Gear Shift Knob Set. The horn buttons work with the original VW horn parts to provide a perfect appearance, patina, and color match with your vehicle’s original steering wheel. The shift knobs are fitted with metal threads in the base—no stripped threads here.
KaferLab Matched Horn Button and Gear Shift Knob Sets are sold in 2-piece kits in aluminum, ivory, or black to fit most 1949-96 Volkswagen vehicles.
