Thanks, but after all this work, I think I would have to sell it as The Silver Devil. A lot of the stock pieces were either sent back as a core or sold on the forum!

At some point I may add a red top optima as well or maybe I'll just pick up an '08...

I did a ton of stuff to my last vehicle but haven't had the time since I bought this one.

I posted earlier in this thread but my photos from Comcast would not come up. I am now using Photobucket. Anyway, originally had an all silver theme going, and I have now switched to red. I think the red gives it a little more contrasts and livens it up a bit.
