Subject: Re: Part II ~ EXTERIOR

Body:
Visable from the outside of the car, there are no screw heads. This
strip smooths over the area where the front & rear ascMcLaren added
pieces meet the stock Capri bumper fascias. They appear to be glued
on. They are pretty much flat (the rear one) and ribbed (front).
Yjey are both curved like this: ) (Convex) and were at one time
flexable. The rears are body colored, the fronts (thicker & harder
material) are black. I have not a picture that shows this detail.
