I'm a weirdo, I know. But I also know there are others out there like me.

Okay...here is a couple more shots for you from outside - much, much better!
BTW, I just used stock bonnet stripes to do this...cut them to fit and put them on!

KC - that looks great! I'm actually going to change my stripes to the ones without the white outline, and now I will definitely buy enough for the boot as well. I'm not sure it would look as good that way on the boot, but I'll try it.
Have you considered blacking out your beltline?

Not at this point I haven't...I'm kind of in the belief that since the headlight surrounds are chrome, and the door handles are, and the exhaust tips are, there shold be a bit more on the car somewhere (outside the emblems) to balance it out.
To me, just the little splash of chrome here and there makes me look for the next bit on the car. I actually bought a chrome OEM grille, but after putting it on, didn't like it that much...so I've got to get that sold!
I think the beltline looks good blacked out, but at this point I think I'll keep it as is...but never say never!
