Johns Summer of 69 14 Report post Posted August 20, 2018 going with a black and red interior. They are not completely black. Basically half of it is Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Johns Summer of 69 14 Report post Posted August 22, 2018 Taking over to the painter today a bunch of trim, weather-stripping, etc for him to install. That way if anything gets scratched, it can be fixed. My wife asked me if I was starting to get excited. I said no because I know there are going to be a laundry list of screws, seals and other things that have disappeared that are needed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There's a local window tinting company near me that can do custom graphics. I've talked to them about some custom GT stripes when they tinted the glass in my old 06 mustang. Pricing was reasonable. May be someplace similar near your location. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
