    You sure got it put back together fast. Looks great. (y) Headlight bezels should also be black--will give a meaner appearance. :yup: Did you keep a vinyl top on it, or just the trim? :hmmm: Gonna put some custom wheels & tires on it?...:confused:

    From what I can see in these pic's those reflections are pretty straight, and we all know how black is very unforgiving for showing up anything. Nice gloss too. Looks good!!!

    Thanks for the thumbs up guys! Jamie, yea, I agree...the wheels are staying as they are(might paint the they red later...not sure yet)...I didn't keep the vinyl top...and thats a good idea about the bezels...Next thing on the list is to replace my headrest(which I just received from Craig) and to get the windows tinted...

    I once had a girlfriend named Betty, I,d still be with her if she looked that nice. Not really--she left me.

    I think I would have to have some dark windows too.(to see through the shine :rofl: )
