I don 't see a pic of a trunk stripe? Interior paint looks good; however, i'm not feeling the giant S197 letters on the dash (they seem to be off center?!?). Just my .02, take it or leave it, you asked......

I'd group the numbers together more, bring in the S a bit... Unfortunately people are going to ask you what 5197 means...

Gotta agree about the S197. I say lose it.

If you really want it though, what about laying the letters out differently? Something a bit more typical of a dash emblem. There's a reason other dash emblems are usually laid out like this. It looks more balanced here.

Well, yeah, that could work too.

I assumed you'd reuse the same letters, so they're the same size.
