True, go with a nice BBK next, you'll love the braking on our light cars.

Negative. The red looks sweet either way.

Very nice, I agree about the rings, but would include the handle and gas cap too. Is the stripe around the scoop gray? it may look nice if the the crome was made that color instead of just black IMO.
