I think I prefer it - it lifts the rear and accentuates the tail lights..........

I finally got the window trim done, I did not use the factory stuff, mainly because I like the look of the rubber trim ,it came out nice on the front , but the back required small slits to accommodate the radius, all in all it came out great and I can live with it.

I also perfected the badge resto, I found some on E bay, and they are very hard to find ,I got lucky, and have some extras now. Lisa does not like it on the fender, and I agree I am not in to labels, I taped it on to see what it looked like ,looks ok ,and on the key hider it is cool there but we like the clean look.

I get that the rear panel lifts the back but i can't help but think its a panel waiting to be sprayed, if you get my gist. :roll:

Satin Black would be my choice, but its good to be different & as per original.

Not sure about the badge on the front fender, then again, I have never seen a GC car before you showed yours.

Windows look great, paint is so nice & shiney its hard to see :D

I like the argent rear panel! I really like that rubber screen trim, where did you get that from? Wouldn't mind doing the Valiant like that.

It is from a dodge Dakota , not sure what year, but I am having second thoughts on the rear, the front screen looks great the cuts are ugly and I will lost likely change it our with the factory stuff, I have it but it has hail damage and will require some work,so I learned alot, but might change it :?

Finally got the GC rocker molding on, makes the car look a bit different.

I had to search for the nylon clips, and modified them, and also used jack nuts for the ends.
