One question though. Is that a glass fuel filter? I've heard if they're hot and get splashed by cold water they can blow up. Maybe someone else can confirm or debunk this.

I'm not too particular to green for cars but I really like that!!!

Your photos are excellent too. Really show the body off with the shadow and highlight reflections.

Does the stripe end at the back?

Wow...it looks so good. Agree with the previous post on the glass filter...they are junk and dangerous...replace it with a quality piece. I do not know about the water thing....but the seals are junk and they come apart too easy.

Sweet pics. Love the new hood. It looks awesome. That is the first time I have seen it. I have a couple pics of your car on my screen saver and this one is great. Add another to the screen saver.
