Lu it sounds like a nice color combo inside and out for the Gremlin. I
also now understand about cutting the lower facia now. Dealers will come
up with all kinds of excuses not to do warantee work if you have
modified anything. That is why when my Hornet was new I waited till the
warantee was up to install heavy duty shocks and add an extra leaf to
the stock springs.

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~
