To clear the air, I do NOT have a white interior. That is someone else who posted pics in my thread, it would be nice if he took them down so everyone won't get confused on my build.  :swear:

For those ordering marker side bezel lights from PGclassics. You basically have to assemble them yourselves. I was told you put the gasket on the outside of the light fixture put it through the bezel and then you need to crimp the sides down to keep it attached to the bezel. How to do this I am still figuring out but once I do I'll post up pics.

Note to self, don't have folks come over and man handle your stuff and lose your gaskets. Especially when they come from Canada and take 2 weeks to get here!

I actually used sublime green instead of limelight but it's really up to what you want. Sublime was used on Challengers so it's not correct for a Cuda but I like it and it contrasts so beautifully with black. I guess to answer your question of will I get sick of it. It keeps growing on me every day I see it so no.

Eyeballs almost in, gotta grab the springs and screws which I somehow missed.

Oh yeah got the 4 speed boot on as well, wasn't as easy as I thought but then again nothing is.
