It's not hard to pull off at all. This trend may have blew up but it is not a new trend by any means. I idolized my best friends brother growing up in Hawaii and he had a few VW Sirocco's that were "Hellaflush" in 1987.

I took this at the 512 show in Austin, this was about as original as it gone amongst the many IS's
