      I like my sidemarkers. I swapped the ones in the front out for red ones so they're all red, and I'm going to have Andrew wire them up for me so they blink with my turn signals. It'll be hot. Besides, but having sidemarkers, my car is euro by default. Everyone here wants euro trim, and the euro guys are starting to want US trim with the side markers. So by keeping my sidemarker trim, I've already got the euro "style" trim. It makes sense in my head...

      I just went out and pulled the side pieces of trim off. The cracks are so tiny and hairline that the only person that would ever see them is me, but to me, they're like tectonic fault lines. I'll sand, primer and reshoot them tomorrow, and they'll be just like a couple of little Fonzies. And what's Fonzie like? He's cool.

          Yeah, I like the added lights at night, and having them blink with the turn signals will be cool, not many cars have that.

                    Maybe later, when I've got some more extra money to spend on it.

                                This might sound like a n00b question but anyway..... does the front end of the car require any cutting/welding like the rear or does a newer valance and plastic bumper bolt right in to the front of the old car ??
