Congrats! Looks good... especially the interior (but I'm a bit biased there).

Exact same color combo as mine. You will get many many compliments on it. Sometimes you even see a ting of purple in it with the right sunlight on it.

Okay, before anyone gets the crazies and thinks about looking for the grills I'm going to give you all what I know about them. I've had them on my car for quite a long time now and this person's car is like the second set I've seen. People have asked me over the years about them and I've never been able to get any answer what-so-ever from the person that made them. They are no longer made and haven't been for quite some time now. I've given the measurements to a few people but haven't seen anyone coming out with anything as of yet, at least not that I've heard of or found. If I do ever hear of anyone or anything at all about them again I'll surely let you all know. I do love the name "GRAPE GRIDS" by the way....😃 😎👍

Just to be straight with you all, I'm not trying to take away from the OP's thread here but just letting people know what "GRAPE GRIDS" are in case they don't know my car. 😉

Thanks... I was stuck between this color combination or the yellow with tan color combination. I'm very happy with mine.
