Yes I am going to add a dark blue hockey stick stripe on the white Gremlin. I guess I don't have to wait to cut out the bottom fascia on the PT, but I'd rather wait until the warranty period has ended in case I have some sort of crazy problem and my work is cited as the cause by the dealership. Actually, the new upper grill looks good without the bottom changed. I will drive it around like this for awhile and decide what to do soon. ~Lu~ --- AMC74HORNET@xxxxxxxxx wrote: > It sounds like a nice interior and exterior color > combo Lu.
