My Belle had a Hard Dog M1 Sport that I really liked. I hope to never
have to *use* one but I do feel a bit safer having one on the car.
I'm looking at the M2 Sport if it'll fit around the factory windblock.

Still don't have a name for her. The president of our club, who took
the shots on the 2nd and 3rd pages of the album, thinks I should call
her "Star". The jury is still out on that one though.

I still have the wiring and the relays. They just don't do anything
on this car.

I was seriously looking for an NA but the husband said I needed to buy
a newer car than a '97. And who am I to argue with that? <g>

The folks at Hard Dog can tell you. They have probably had every
imaginable question asked about fitting.

Nice! I assume that this is after your treatment?

With your history of keeping a red car looking nice and glassy, I vote
for "Hyaline", but it is your call. :-)

I'll probably give them a call just to confirm - it looks like it
should but one should never assume!

No, this is as received! I did notice after it rained this morning
that there wasn't a whole lot of beading on the hood so I'll be waxing
sooner rather than later.

I have to admit that I got a bit anal about keeping Belle looking
good. <g>

Very nice, congratulations :-) Nice steering-wheel too. It's on the wrong
side of the car though?!

Congratulations! A nice safe color too, except when there are
cops around.

All that chrome does take some getting used to. As does the white
dial faces.

And what's really strange is that all those white faces glow red when
you turn the headlights on! And the read-out on the radio says
"Hello" when you first turn it on. And it glows red too.

Quite a difference from my '90.
