[FC] Exterior Trim

[Louis C. Armer, Jr.]

Hey Dave, When Ken Arnold restored his V8 rampside, he chromed or re-chromed
many of the trim parts. He had his plater chrome the headlight bezels on 
his Rampy.
See picts at: http://www.corvaircorsa.com/arnold09.html  In addition to the 
bezels, I
know he chromed the front grill and the license tag light holders. The 
CORSA badge
on the rear engine door is one of the original Cloisine metal badges.
