What the heck, if it doesn't look just right, you can take the golf cart out to the back yard, pick some 100's off of that gigantic money tree you must have, and start over.  ;D
Ya, and he says I am high maintenance.  ::)

Even ZG, probably the most energetic of the color black supporters, has seen the light and is going green which is mildly faster than black.

Ordered up a set of mirrors today, that now makes a complete body kit with tank and side case lids complete for $1420 shipped.  :) 8)
 
Now I just have to wait for all the parts to arrive next week and get em over to the painter.
 


The Connie Gods must be inspired by this project, today I scored right and left mirrors and right and left side bag lids that aren't even scratched for only $120 total!!  :o
 
I just called and canceled my order for the new mirrors (which was $240), so now I'm all in with a full body for only $1300 and also now have another set of side case lids to paint as spares or just hoard...  ;D :thumbs:
