    I meant: Are you planning a full, folding top to go under the new, bigger fabric? Or do you just want a shorter trunk lid (boot)?

    By the way, my wife and I just returned from a visit to Paris and Germany. We loved Paris, and plan to return someday!

    Tres bien. J'aime ta vision pour ta custom.
    Sorry don't speak real French... But I love your vision and the approach of seeing what should be done to improve the look further. Don't do what everyone does - just because they feel they have to do it because everyone does it. It is your car - build it how you like it. I like it!
    J'aime beaucoup.

    So, you're going to have taillights in the bumper guards, yes? Sounds like a great idea!
