Great suggestions...I really like the black vinyl Idea...thanks seedyROM. I actually hadn't realized the b-pillar was black on stock models. The splash guard will come when the engine pull is done this fall...probably all new ones actually. I'll work on the TT wheels...or maybe some new ones...SSR comps maybe...oh and the trim on mirrors will be fixed shortly...maybe that'll be my next project...the b-pillar fix and mirror fix...good idea.
For the record...several of these problems stem from a the previous owner who had the car painted yellow(not pearl yellow)...it was originally black...but I really like this color...it needs some touch up...(new molding ect.) but all in good time my friends...fear not...I have learned good Z taste from the wise ones here at TT.net. Thanks again...
