    I'm getting those side bumpers like Dirk. They look great in black.

    Installation will wait.

    Well painted the side skirts and realized that I couldn't put them back on due to not having enough Rocker Moulding Retainer clips due to some of them being broken. So until then when I buy more, I'll fill in the holes with rubber grommets and I may spray paint the rocker panels gloss black. Maybe... But here is a better picture of my car.

    Looks cool as hell, like a Transformer. You got a link to those black hubcaps? You paint those?

    https://hubcapmike.com/14-inch-smoothie-hubcaps/

    This is where I got them. Yes, I removed the chrome the best I could at the time and spray painted them gloss black. Not the best up close, but it's okay. The ABS plastic ones that I have are out of stock though for now.

    Here is the description:
    This is the classic smoothie. Hubcap Mike's 14 inch Smoothie wheelcovers have a beautiful polished finish...they're like a round mirror. Perfect finishing touch to a classic car or classic trailer restoration, kustom car / trailer or modern day late model car / trailer project. They are brand new covers. The rear wheel drive caps are solid steel chromed and the front wheel drive caps are high quality chemical resistant chromed ABS.

    The front wheel drive caps have extra clearance for most modern vehicles. The rear wheel drive caps are solid steel. And the front wheel drive caps are (Currently Out of Stock) high quality chemical resistant ABS. Our FRONT Wheel drive hub caps are currently Out of Stock.

    My goal is to save as most weight as I can. I removed the rear seats and I didn't like the blue metal floor exposed in the back. So I bought some black felt fabric and spray adhesive and made my own DIY carpet look. Only added 1 pound, but looks so much better.

    That should reduce road noise too. Good job.

    Whoa! Where's your donut spare? Also how many miles and are you doing CVT flushes?

    Thank you Eggman!

    Donut spare is right in front of the car beside the washer machine. It's not far away
