    Cheers guys, I love the Caprice rims, it look mint, Just need polish and maybe white wall on!

    What you guys think of engine bay? Let see if it worth to keep it clean regular and wash?

    Looks good, but what's going on with your paint around the hood ornament?

    Update:

    I have a lot think in past about change the car back to factory original or stay with newer look that I update with VS garnish and tail light and interior etc. So I will post the update of stato, and I would like to have opinion about it.

    No update on it at all, I'm plan to sell it soon. I give the S3 garnish, tail light, leather VR console and stand badge and also the clear blinker to Someguy360.

    While I'm awaiting the garnish swap back to S1 garnish and put the stock VR factory stato on it (I'm keeping the VS caprice rim).

    Anyway I haven't post the caprice interior that I done work on it, so here they are:
    Caprice dash and the console leather VR Caprice (now sold to Someguy360)
