    Agreed on the hardtop trunk. Already have one waiting to be sprayed. The black stripe will stay for now though, I like it.

      +1 for the skirts. What kind are they? I have a cabbie in schwarz and want to install some.

      Car look good and the lip looks better than I would expect for an EBay piece

        is this thing on?

        Cannot mount them higher guys, see explanation in earlier posts and the diagram I spent 1/2 hr doing while I was supposed to be working... lol

        Unless I get a cabrio specific skirt, which I couldn't find aftermarket at the price point I wanted, this is as good as it gets.

        Thanks for the comment on the trunk lip.

              this makes sense. i kinda figured this was the reason, but figured i'd give you a hard time anyways. hehe

                Nice looking cabby, the extra black strip kills the flow but the
                ebay lip looks good.

                  looks like a mime. points on the clean bumper swap

                    Props for a great explanation. This only took you 1/2 hour? Man, I couldn't have done that in a day.

                    Very nice car.

                          Thanks guys,

                          The plastic bumper swap was not too bad since it was a vert and didn't require any shortening of the bumpers. I did the prep and paint on them myself, 1st attempt at anything like that... came out pretty good. I also made the eurotrims myself.

                          The gauge faces I made myself (actually my gf) from heavy stock matte photopaper. If you look really close you will notice that the characters on the gauges are exactly the same color as my navy interior. I went a little bit overboard and my girlfriend and I signed the gauges as well (I blurred the sigs before posting pic) - we've done a lot of work together on this car so we wanted to give it our own stamp. In retrospect, maybe a bit cheesy...

                              There are posts around that have the guage faces in them in various colors. I used photoshop to modify it, change the colors, and add in the sigs etc.
