Thanks.... In person it looks better....

The repaint was a color match to the OEM 1992 color - "Silver Spruce Metallic". Not a common color and likely a lot of them have been repainted to white or black. I actually liked the color when I originally bought it (almost bought a gold one but sitting side by side this one it was an easy choice). The team at TnT Auto Body in Sacramento did a great job of recreating (and surpassing) the original color/look and muliple coats of paint and clear coat....

Yours is coming along swimmingly as well!!!!!

Your taillights make me want to club baby seals, however
3 sets so far.
The lights are on the way out for sure. Mechanical issues remain higher on my priority list, cheesy as they look.
Ill likely pick up a driver side from Gazy this week and put them on.

@brucelee1, no those are new wheels. I wanted to keep the Gold LM's but they were cracked.

How many front ends have you had and for the two images above they are different. What kit was the first front end from and what did you replace it with in the 2 image??? The subsequent images looks like another one (since the front grille slot moved down like the OEM 97). Thanks....

I've went through some crap trying to find Dwp body parts but I was blessed with it all. Even a clean Dwp front bumper. Shot out to T0ked for that one.
