Nice! I'm on the fence about the orange grill parts, I don't know if I like it orange or if I would like it if it were black. Either way, you decided on it and I'm sure you like it the way it is!

thanks bro....I can't wait either....The reason I'm finishing off in June is because I'm gonna try to get my wheels in May, lol. If not I could switch it and finish off the engine and my surgery on the rear end in May and wheels in June...but I want wheels so bad, lol.

ЯX-8 actually I didn't pick the color scheme. I left that creative liberty to my body shop guy Kenny over at East Side Collison. Between him and Chrism they came up w/the color scheme and I am very pleased to be honest.
I basically told him listen I'm going for a VIP look. SO no silver at all. We were gonna do gold same concept...but after the guys discussed this is what I got and I am happy w/it. The vents on the cover were all Kennys idea. If you look @ Chrism's engine cover kenny did a hell of a good job on it so he looked at chris's while trying to figure out what to do to mine and the light bulb lite up and the rest is history. I trust Kenny 100% w/the deicisons he makes...he does excellent work and can't wait to drop my 8 off to him soon...
