Ok I'll answer the questions in order...
The exhaust tips will be changed, lol
It was supposed to be painted in a paint booth but the deal we had fell through so we had to paint it in the shop, no, it isn't perfect. I didn't expect Barret Jackson quality though.
The rear harness I wasn't really worried about, it's going to be covered and never seen. As far as the light bulb goes, nothin a little Acetone won't take care of. Yes of coarse we did the jams and edges. I'll get you all more pics when its rollin in the sun! Cant wait.

Wouldn't it have been easier to remove the antenna?

Sommer86, the guy just got done painting! The shaved front emblem looks awesome, but it's a little late for that now!

Hey, how much paint and how much clear did it take? What was your cost in liquid supplies?

lol, the antenna would not come off. Believe me, we tried. It's been there for 13 years and never touched so I guess it found its spot, lol. We would of had to cut it off or break it. As far as the supplies go, at our cost, $1100, at regular consumer cost about $2400.

$1100 isn't bad at all! I get a 'Business Discount' when I buy from my usual supplier so things are almost 1/3 the cost...sure helps a LOT as expensive as some stuff gets. I guess if that antenna found it's perfect hole, might as well not mess with perfection! Watch, some kids playin around the car a week later pop it out easy as pie! LOL Swat

P.S. Forgot to mention, the color is great and the whole car looks amazing!
