I plan on having the Chrome removed from the fender louvers and painted semi gloss, the bumpers are semi gloss black also. Other future plans are for semi gloss Forgeline wheels , and smoking the tail lights , headlights and parking lights. You can see the back bumper in the picture :bigsmile:

Love the look of those.  If my car wasn't number matching and being restored to factory specs, I definitely buy a set of those.
1970 Plymouth 'Cuda.  Matching numbers 440 U Code, 4 speed pistol grip, Rallye dash, AM 8 Track, Shaker hood, 15 inch rallye wheels, Dana 60 4.10, Super Track Pak.  One of 134 - 440 "U" coupes codes built in 1970 and one of 100 - 440 Super Track Paks built in 1970.

"usraptr" = United States raptor - bird of prey = United States Bald Eagle.  FYI, somebody else thought of it first so I had to drop the "O" in raptor.

Who makes those wheels? The black wheels go well with the rest of the car but the silver around the outside is a nice contrast.
