I think it was too "blingy" and cheesy looking before. I love the subtle black up front.

I was just trying to mimic the subtle 1st gen front.

Nice!
& Thanks for doing this, I was thinking doing same but wasn't sure how it 'd look without whistler and clear turn signal housing.

It's actually about the same color as my car, just it's in the shade and mine is in the sun in the pic, and my camera phone isn't great.

It's a 68, matching numbers 327 with a TPI setup from a 3rd gen, very clean car. Sitting on 17" C5 Y2K's.
