Very Nice. I'm in the process of repainting the inside wheel slots black on mine now. Not much fun. lol I wish the hood scoop on my 80 was a bit higher as it is on your 78. The different shape is ok, but it's a bit lower.

Can you post more photos of your car? I like the rims and that might be a choice for my car. What size are they?

I went with 18" Center Line Lazer ll's. 18"x 8" with 4" BS in front. 18" x 9.5" with 5" BS. in back. Tires are 255/45-ZR18 in front and 275/40-ZR18 in back. Stock TA's with relocated E-brake cable and VBP spring. Don't have a lot of pictures yet, I just got it on the road about a month ago. What would you like to see? Maybe I could take a pic or two.
