    Casual. I like that, a fitting description. Don't wanna be a buzzkill but I'd do something with the top too. My idea would be cheap and hold the casual nature as well. Get some "long/short" top material (the satin finish, not the shiny shit) and stretch it over the top with a little glue and some wireon or hidem on the front and back. Better yet, a satin black metal molding sealed and screwed down would rock it too. Love this little bitch and the interior fits it just right. Huzzah!

    I wouldn't change one thing on or about the Coupe, it is 'spot-on' the way it is.

    Dean, how could you??

    I love this coupe, I especially love the "non conventional" interior.

    Spray paint over chrome?! Most sane people would just replace it with one that's not been chromed in the first place ;)

    Or, you know, leave it alone...

    I respect the opinion of a guy like Dean Lowe. I think I'll keep my old show-chrome though.

    My son drove the coupe back to his place in Kansas. He's been driving it the last few days, and reports that it actually is a chick magnet.
