Ugh. I can't wait until my Rio Red looks that good again! That grill is straight sexy, too! Have you put up a tutorial for it yet?

Also, can you help me with my Nardi steering wheel? I'd like to get my horn to work.

BTW, the non-chrome strip on the molding makes the car. It's almost like the chrome strip cheapens the look some how.

Electrical tape FTW!!


And I'm not kidding, it seriously works. It's probably what Jake has on there right now. 8)

Seriously, e-tape??? I would have never thought of that. Brilliant.
Although, how well does it stay on in cold weather (since most e-tape sucks to use when it's cold)?

I'm using it now, and it's been pouring over here and I haven't had any problems. It gets pretty cold at night, too.

the electrical tap works amazing. i've had it on for 2 yrs with no problems. just make sure you dont stretch the tape too much when you put it on or else it will shrink after awhile. 8)

They also sell a tape to cover it at auto supply places. It's more weather resistant. Used it on mine with no problems.

It's seriously that easy? I figured that stuff would fall right off. I might do that mod tomorrow..... oh and the thing I don't like about the old tails is the silver/chrome looking part of it. Still your car is in the top 3 BC's I've ever seen. Keep up the good work.

Napa's got black tape in the pinstriping section. Just buy the right width...3/4 inch I'm guessing.

He just said he used electrical tape. Read up.


And yes. It's extremely easy. Took me 15 minutes to do at the most.
