I was going to do a CDC classic chin but I'm paranoid that it will get damage in short time. The town we visit the most is known for it's business driveways being more like a 6 inch curb. And one business' exit driveway has such a hump that the car bottomed out completely and we had to back up and go out the alternate drive.

You just gotta learn how to go over speedbumps and get in the habit of backing in. It's well worth it imo because it adds a lot to the front

Very nice. I love the grille with the fog lights.
I do have to agree, the CDC classic would look sick on your car.
Something about having all the black accents up front then adding a chin just sets it off.
But I'm a little bias...

This car is a huge improvement over stock though. Its really clean looking.

The interior is my wife's area, she has been adding yellow to it slowly.

Looking really good !

I love the changes, like everyone else has said, wheels and a chin spoiler will add that next level touch, are you going for a black theme w/ the wheels by chance? Would look real nice, but I know it is the wifes so ...

But may I ask where you got the yellow for the interior, just painted?

The wheels will likely be black unless we go to with the Magnum 500 wheels which has both black and machined steel. I think it was Nuke who suggested 17", or maybe it was someone else. Does anyone have any good leads on 17s, seems a vast majority of American muscle wheels are 18+.

The interior is just krylon fusion paint. It isn't an exact match but there is a lot of real estate between the yellow on the interior and the exterior so you'd have to have a super sharp eye to see the difference.

Thanks, it's looking very promising and it's closer to what I eventually want to do than I am currently doing.

Anyway for the second to last update for a short while, the tri-bar pony came today via USPS. I was impressed with the quality of the emblem itself. The mounting bracket not so much. When I went to tighten it down tue screw came loose and I couldn't get it tight. So I improvised with some 3M tape and a couple zip-ties. Worked like a charm. The part that sucked was having to take the billet grill off again to fasten it on.
