    Lookin' good, Doug! Plus I see tail-light bezels, wheel well covers, and a continental. NOW, you need Borlas (and a K&N CAI), a TBN grille badge, and wing emblems or decals for the portholes.

    The tonneau will look really nice when it's painted. You'll have to post some more pics then.

              Actually, a 'high performance' trunk mat! It's not what's under the hood but in the trunk.

                Is that real chrome or just the plastic stick on stuff? I like the stripe down the side, I've been thinking of haveing one put on my car. A painted pin stripe maybe. I like the Continental kit too, first time I ever saw one on a retro Tbird. Does it realy have the spare tire in it? If it does, it probably gives you alot more room in the trunk. The Tonneau is cool too. Leroy

                  That's real chrome around the wheel wells held in place with screws. Took me about 15 minutes to install all 4. The side is a metal stick on. Thunderbird concepts carries both items. The continental kit is just for looks, no spare tire in it. There is a TBN badge on the front.

                        It really IS a beauty, Doug! I just love the color. Sorry I missed the grille badge in the other shots, but glad to see you have one. BTW, the tonneau looks just fine in black if you decide not to have it painted.

                        Jenn, I'm soooooo glad to see you back!!!

                          Yes the tonneau does look good in black, everyone tells me to leave it that color, even my painter. The only person to actually tell me to paint it to match the car-is my girlfriend, and you know, always listen to them. LOL I told her BUT.... you have a bikini in both colors to match it. What do they think sometimes.

                            Black does look good.
