Kudos, man. This is turning into a really nice piece. I love the work that shows real body materials skill and flare for the design of the stuff. Making the car look good is part of winning the respect of people for your project. Any interest in making a mold of this part before final install? I would bet you could actually sell the part online (not for much profit, though) or to other ecomodders with your car.

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
