Couldn't have said it better.
And yeah, I would have preferred more stock colors in and out of the engine bay, but hey, it's his car now. As long as he's out there killing ricers and domestics, it's OK by me.

Well, at least the gauges are stock colors again. LOL. Just kidding. I would have liked to have kept the black on white gauge faces but they were malfunctioning. The sad part is I think I put the gas gauge in upside down when I sewed the gauge cluster back up. It's an easy thing to do if you don't pay attention when removing the gauge. Looks like another 1 to 2 hour job to take it out and turn it back around again
Doh! haste makes waste! As far as the red goes, I'm not sure why I like red accents. I may get tired of it and paint the wipers and hood pins black again one day. We'll see Bruce

Sure, it cost me about $3K in repairs that I couldn't do (core support weld in and out and windshield) and all parts.
However, I get a lot of my stuff wholesale and discounts and got a incredibly great deal on replacing the front core support and new windshield.
Additionally, I didn't replace the airbags, front bumper cover or fenders with painting. If I had done those it would have been another $500 to $600 for airbags off of ebay and install myself, and a new front bumper cover and fenders with new paint on them would have been clost to another $1K
The front bumper cover has some noticible scratches and the fenders have some dents and spots where the radiator fluid ate some of the paint. I'll eventually replace those with something else but for not it's not too bad looking.

Schweet, 5 bucks will buy me a crabby patty at the crusty crab.
Seriously though, I've red/clear tails on order - The altezzas was the first mod I did to the car many moons ago and the stickers are to promote my performance parts resell biz although I may lose the stickers eventually but my 5 year old boy likes to put the stickers on the windowI know the red wipers are rice magnets as well but I like red wipers for some wacky reason.
