Wow, I can't remember the last time the Enterprise has looked that good! Nice VHT nightshade, really sets the car off...

One of my favorite rides was always that body style Riv. Nice pics.

Back when I was still flying I leased a new 97 Rivera and really enjoyed it. It was a Diamond White color.

Enrique:
Your Riv is always gorgeous. It reminds me of my first encounter with a 1978 Riviera. You have really made your car nice and showcased it well.

The Rivi is looking great! Makes me miss mine a bit. You did quite a few things I never got around to on mine. I like what you did with the tail lights, and the grille. Those were both two things that I wanted to get done on mine, but never got around to. Looks really good. The one and only suggestion I have is to maybe put clearcoat on the tail lights to give them a glossy look, unless you prefer the flat. It's up to you; either way it looks great!

I did clear coat them :dontknow: . I guess I didn't sand them right, I will try again.

Thanks to everyone for the compliments.

You know, they do look good. I posted that from my laptop last night and on THAT screen they looked differently than on my desktop. On here they look great. I'd leave them as-is. :)
