vince, i thought they were a nice touch as well. going to re do it this winter when the car gets a re-paint (doing something a little custom). and the hood vinyls/door vinyls will be painted as well when that happens

Car looks clean. A couple of suggestions (IMO): paint the hood scoops black, remove smoker shields, remove the side stripes, and remove the V8 badges above the side markers. I'm not sure about the "spoiler" above the rear window.

Pretty much make it look like 223HAWK's car. Less is more.
