    Love the shiny new V6 emblem. I know I've seen them but don't remember the vendor. Where did you get them?

    Sometimes when things like this seem pricey, I think through all that I would have to do to reproduce one of similar quality myself...then they seem pretty reasonable.

    I did order a pair of these recently, they are quite nice.

    I concur. Have you priced re-chroming even small parts recently, especially one made of white metal that needs pitting repaired? Parts Dude's are reletively a bargain. I'll be ordering the V6 emblems in the future.

    These fenders are weird lol. No rust on them when I got them but a lot of metal fatigue on them. Like welding tissue paper in spots. Getting there tho

    The p.o. put this rod all around both fenders for support I guess, to me it's a rust trap so off it comes

    Seatbelts came today. The color frost was a perfect match to original seat color
