Got the stripe kit and installed the burgundy reflect stripes on the tail panel and lights.
Messed up in one spot but my efforts to purchase just the one stripe I needed failed.
Here it is test fitted. Shows I need to tweak the trunk lid alignment a bit.

Took a picture with the flash on so you can see the reflective stripes. It also shows where I messed up the lower stripe when installing.
Tried to buy just the lower stripe but they wouldn't sell it to me. Fortunately it is only highly visible at night and I won't see it in my rear view mirror.

Thanks.

Got the quarter glass installed today. Need to get the door glass in before final adjustments.

Tried ordering upper and lower chrome molding for the grille surround but nobody has them in stock. So I tried my hand at straightening and restoring my old ones. Started with the lower molding because it was the worst.
Here it is compared to the upper molding that I haven't touched yet.

Took a lot of work but got it installed for a test fit.
Needs some adjusting and I did nick the black paint in a couple of spots.
