Default another project i'm working on

i started stripping the '81 earlier this year and i'm going to do a little "this and that" to make it more one-off.
this is my cheezy 'photochop' idea of what it's going to look like when when i'm done. i'm grafting c6 rear side markers in mine. i'm also installing an ACI fiberglass rear bumper and will blend the seams.

here's another view i just did blending in the rear bumper and then moving the marker back about 4 inches. keep in mind, i'm just using windows paint. i don't have photoshop or a similar program so they look kind of hacked up but at least it give a good idea.

I like the C5 marker in there. I think that looks good. I don't believe I would move the marker toward the rear as it looks in the second pic though.
