Re: changed ground effects from gray to black
Yeah it's looks better in black. I would mask and rattle can the metal strip on the T Top by the window (and the piece in the middle too). It will make a big difference in your profile and compliment the ground effects.

Re: changed ground effects from gray to black
Are those chrome lug nuts in the rear should get black ones plus I agree with the side black moulding they don't flow well but I like the black contrast though

Re: changed ground effects from gray to black
looks a lot better, like said above, repaint the t-tops parts, and get a shorter antenna, that one is stupid big.

Re: changed ground effects from gray to black
im going to do all those things (think i might ditch the antenna entirely- its not connected anyhow and run CDs only)
and im going to whip out the buffer and polish / wax that red paint back to life. hopefully it will come out nice with some touch up here and there
i really cant afford a new paint job so we'll see what happens

Re: changed ground effects from gray to black
I agree. The buffer will bring that red back.
