And be careful...Contrary to popular opinion, Chrome scratches pretty easily. Those fine lines at the right angle, towel scratches like in dark Vette clearcoats. Found this out the hard way.

Good Idea

Thanks Jaxgater & y2kvert4me (Tom),
I will be adding yellow rail covers with chrome letters. That will finish her off for me.

Actually Brad, my suggestion was to just change the red color on the black rail covers to yellow but leave the rail covers black. You know? Paint yellow over the red or however you can do it. I believe you can buy the letters in yellow and maybe get the other part in yellow as well. To me, that would really set it off. Personally, I think the yellow rail covers would be a bit much. But that's just me. It's your car, do what makes you happy.

[edit]
Then again, now that I went back and looked I see that it's mostly chrome and the yellow rail covers would look really good.
