There's still something minor that I'm not lovin' but I can't quite figure out what it is. I don't like the gray skirts/bumper on any car, so maybe that's part of it. Hmmm... I think I'd like it even more if the skirts/bumpers were green, and the bumper/side mouldings were darker. Have you ever heard of, or used "Forever Black"?? That would be a simple way to get the mouldings darker. BTW... what's the purpose of the tape anyway? Is it just cosmetic? __________________ Real men know how to SEARCH!
