Doing some final detail work

Replacing the cheap eBay center cap emblems because they were delaminating anyway..... So I wanted to give them a more refined/cleaner look. Like the NOS cap I have for the car's original 13" polycast wheels it's silver like the rest of the wheel with a black outline logo. I had a graphics shop make me some stencils. So I painted the caps to match the wheels, tried just the outline logo but I felt it needed a little more. It needed the red inside the logo.... Yeah much better.
And today's project was replacing the rear bumper filler strips as they kept deteriorating. The material that GM used for the fillers didn't survive the elements...

Far be it from me to question any of your moves on this masterpiece. But I would’ve filled the engraved emblem with red to match the pinstripe on the wheel, and called it done. The red inside the emblem only works if the emblem itself is brighter than it is now.

It is the subtle things that truly make a car stand out. Who would have thought a 1980’s “sticker” muscle car would make me pause!
Keep up the good work. She looks amazing

This thing is so cool. Its a real shame Oldsmobile isnt around anymore, they were much more innovative than people give them credit for

Looks great! I saw an 80s Oldsmobile at the racetrack today and instantly thought of you. Always love seeing your updates :-)

I never get tired of seeing this car. But wait, 13” wheels? What size are these?
Naive_Vegetable1421@reddit (OP)
The original ones were 13".... I have an NOS cap. This is what the original polycast wheels look like...
