The color is black cherry pearl.  I wanted something that was not a complete departure from the factory burgundy but with some style.

Well, You certainly attained that! I can't wait to see it all together! THEN I want to see it in person! You really have done an excellent job on this project, hanging in there when many people would have thrown in the towel!

Cool

I hated those lights. It being such a junker is the only way I could afford it at that point on my life.
