No colored loom. No theme. But it was clean.

Bummer. Mine was absolutely clean including the compartment all painted.

What you can pull of your engine and paint, polish or chrome I would, Not saying I would want to, but you may want to pull the engine to do the ultimate job. For the trunk I would take it to a trim shop and have them do it the same color of your interior, with carpet not the vinyl. I also think it would look real sharp if you had a custom trunk cover made. I would have a panel made that fit snug into the lip of the trunk, then you could have Fino embrodied into it, or you could have the same snake embrodied into it. Keep up the good work

I can't have a custom trunk cover made. That would have a panel made that fit snug into the lip of the trunk.

All of this from the top of the deck lid down......

Fits into this.

That means the cover will be below the trunk lock stricker.

Rebodys are a different bread.

EDIT: I do appreacate all the comments, they have been a great help. Except the tail lights. I keep the tail lights that came with the kit because I like the nostalgic look of them and did not want to modernize it. Believe me they were not easy to do. I do like John's tail lights on the Finale, that car is more modern looking than the Fino. The same with the front I used screws to hold the headlight covers on because that is what Lotus did.

Thanks for your help
Ed
