Nice looking car. If it was mine (and not your mom's) I'd debadge the hood. IMO that'd look even sleeker.

I actually like everything about the car BUT the rims. Don't get me wrong, it looks fine as-is but it would look sick with the right aftermarket IMO. Either way, great job on the detail Jim.(J/K, J/K) :laughing3:

Some guys at ACNA has tried that, it really doesn't look all that good. I've also seen the updated Olds rocket emblem (found on every other Oldsmobile) in its place, the Aurora "A" below the line of the hood between the headlights, even the Aurora "A" upside down. Nothing looks quite as good as the the original emblem in its proper location :wink:

about three hours of elbow grease, my thumbnail, and some liquid ice claybar. It worked pretty well
