| When I shaved my car I ended up getting a universal hidden antenna that I attacked to my rear strut bar. Works better than the original but you have to make sure it is an inch away from anything steel. I made a small spacer for mine. You can pick them up at any autoparts store for $25-$30. | |

| That's clever. I'd much rather have that set up than the factory one. | |

| Nav antenna has to have a clear view of the sky to work. I lose signal just going under bridges and thick clouds. You don't want to obscure the antennas line of site UP. They do make an antenna that can be placed on the corner of your dash and wired to the Nav unit.. And with all the glass we have on the Riv it should work good. | |

| i hope you'r not painting the rear lip the same color as the car... i think it would make it look BIG and a bit booring. maybe something darker. guess it will look good then and whit the exhaust tips comming through the rear lip. | |

| Everything will be the same color. The exhaust tips and marker lights will break things up a bit. Should keep it from looking to big. Sleek, simple, and clean is the look I am after. | |

| With the color that you intend to use, the Riviera's sensuous curves give it slightly different colors anyway.
However I got to thinking about Snowdogs comment. Remember the Mako Shark show car. It has since been copied but it had silver low and then blended into a blue. I think that would look good on our cars. | |

| cant remember if you sayd somewhere but....are you going to loos the 'trimms' or how ever they are called what are on the sides of the car. or maybe even door handles? would look sick smooth. i had once a idea..but cant find any rivs here in junkyard...but...maybe if you can get some spear sideskirts....cut it in half...and connect 2 of them...so that the wave on the front will be on back tho. i think it would look better that way...more sporty? anyways keep up the good work. | |

| The door handles and the molding down the side of the car will remain. I haven't thought about your idea with the side skirts, that might be cool. I'll think about it. | |

| Very nice. Thanks for the photos. Keep 'em coming.
You might want to keep the molds. There may be a market brewing here at RivPerformance. | |
