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

Yeah that does work Drew.
I would have painted it Matt black though.

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.

Yea alot of people did paint it flat black, but the argent is part of the GC package

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

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.
