i think the ad is false. definately been repainted dont look like a 44k car looks like a 144k or 244k car. sounds like it has a sbc 400 which wouldnt be original looks like its a decent car for sure but its cheap for a reason.

Question. My scoops are painted just on the scoopy part, not all the way back onto the hood. Is that the right way to have it done? I did what 784mula had on his to the t, but that one makes me think. I'm pretty sure that rear 'bumper' decal is incorrect, but that scoop paint job looks funny too.

Your hood scoops are painted right. Like 784mula's car, Only the scoopy part is supposed to be painted. Some people paint them all the way back to the hood as a kind of a alternative to racing stripes. It doesnt look that great to me but, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Im pretty sure your right about the bumper decal being incorrect.

The bumper decal can't be correct. Mine's on the spoiler where it should be. I'm almost positive.

i think even if they didnt come with the 2 tone the bird was still on the spoiler.
