It appears you have one of the few intact front bumper supports. Can you take some pics of the front spoiler area, especially the area where the metal brace in the front meets the spoiler? Thanks

Damn, you got me thinking about the seats in my 79 with red interior. My steering wheel has the incorrect (for 79) black spokes and the parking brake console is black, so black and red seats would look kick butt in mine.

I ordered Black floor matts and a Black cargo mat for the back to add a bit more Black in there -- all that red was just overwhelming. I think it helps that my dash cap around the speakers is black as well. I was even thinking of black arm rests when I replaced the old ones but chickened out at the last minute and went with the original red. But I gotta admit - those seats are SWEET!

Nice looking color combo. My wife wanted me to go with some red interior in mine also. I didn't and have since seen a black vette with a red interior and thought it looked great. Oh well, hindsight is 20/20. Good job.
