Couple of changes. Airbrushed lid, rear view camera etc I repainted my lid this time incorporating skulls, I also installed a JVC headunit with a rear view camera that I mounted in the keyhole... This is a must have on a convertible! 
I mounted an Autometer fuel pressure gauge on the cowl, installed a norris catch can and put .5" spacers and installed arp studs on the rear.
Thats about it for now just thought I would share.

love the sticker!
For the back up cam that's a good idea for a spot. Now that I have my actual release mehanism working again I may do this. Why do you say you need this for a vert? I almost always have my top down. I know there is almost no visibility with the top up. Why not just put it down?

Bestlude yea man I was hoping to see your car there, it was crazy and 10hrs in the direct sun jacked me all up lol.
Thanks guys and I should have said that the rear view cam is a must in a convertible only when the top is up.
It takes about an hour with a dremel to get the camera installed flush and clean plus if the button ever fails its pretty easy to crawl back there and open it long enough to fix whatever problem there is.

I will get some pictures of what the video looks like but the Camera I used was a $40 3 3/8" x 1 1/16" 2.8mm 120 degree view reverse camera off of Ebay.
You will have to drill out the pop rivets holding the trunk lock in place and then using a dremel round out the opening little by little until the camera fits tight. It will take about an hour or so for the whole install.

The camera came out great, practically looks OEM. Kudos to you sir. If you don't mind my asking, is that a grille insert, or did you have the stock holes and letters filled in on the bumper?

Thanks!
Here is what the rear view video looks like and also what it looks like in the trunk once its installed. Video camera almost shows the whole back of the car but since its a cheaper camera I didnt expect much.
