Thanks for the comments, I like it. Just need to drive it more. Still Daily the 98 1LE (pic below). And ya I have been thinking about the getting the tail light covers and side markers and plasti-dipping. At least until I decided what wheels I def want. Leaning towards the Black ZR1's right now.

Ya I have heard great things. My only worry is durability...i know it comes off easy and quick, but how long will it last. I need to clean up the yellow calipers anyways and will have the wheels off. Perfect time to plasti-dip
