Looks great. Only 1 suggestion....... Do something with that yellow dipstick handle. I painted mine the same color as my car. You may wish to go chrome or match other red parts.

Thanks for mentioned it. That is something I never even noticed. I am trying to locate where I can buy some Torch Red spray cans so maybe I'll do it in TR or get a chrome one to go with the other small chrome pieces I have.

Thanks again.

I just used a red paint pen available at Michael's or Joanne Fabric for a few bucks. Mine is torch red and it matches pretty well.

It all looks good, but I agree that the front license plate cover would look better in TR.

Thanks guys for all the positive comments. I really makes it worthwhile. I was at Tampa Bay's monthly Cars & Coffee today and receive a lot of good comments. What is nice is when I was standing away from the car and could hear different positive comments.
I owe all this to Pat at American Hydo Carbons for supplying such great products.
