Thanks guys! I think the wrap on the trim will hold up pretty well, the truck will always be garaged and wont see any more Iowa winters so it shouldn't die from "exposure" again. If trim fades or peels, ill simply pull the wrap off and put new strips on, have a bunch left over.

So motor question...anyone have experience using the repo corvette exhaust manifolds? They're 2.5" at collector instead of the truck 2", supposed to flow nearly as good as headers and they're pretty cheap. I dont want to choke out this engine with restrictive exhaust but I wont use headers.

Also, planning on running stock intake manifold but still may put on edelbrock performer and paint orange for factory appearance. Not supposed to be a huge improvement over stock but again, I want the engine to breath and be efficient. What would you guys do???
