Fred, Nice lights!!! How easy/difficult was it to install? Are you planning to leave your license plate mounted like that?

I think chrome works very well on BRG - gives a nice balance of new and retro.

I compare the wait to the final days of getting my kitchen remodelled last year. The final weeks were the hardest part of a 3 1/2 month job. I've long since forgotten the pain of those final weeks while enjoying my kitchen. I've pretty much forgotten the delays due to the wrong wheels while enjoying driving.

Now all I'm waiting for is a good long full day of motoring. Then, off to the Blue Ridge Parkway in June.

Got my new wheels and summer tires thrown on the other day and I had to snap a few quick pics. Just waiting on the center caps to get here, they were out of stock. Also threw my badge replacements from AC on the front and back emblems to complete the appearance package
