Been hovering here for quite a while, but in early April finally bought my dream car.

Bought it with 7,000 miles and certified.
I know some of you won't like the pinstripe or hood ornament, and at first I wasn't thrilled about them, but they have grown on me, and now I wouldn't want them gone.

I'm glad you like it, but it definitley ruins the simple lines of the car....Enjoy the ride!

All that matters is that you like it.

Noticed you've incorporated a Cadillac hood ornament--it appears to be the "aerodynamic/curved" one? If you have one, definitely that would be the better choice. However, I'd rather the designers have incorporated it, but you did it nicely!

That's weird; was that pinstripe an option or something? I saw one just like it when I was getting my car detailed last weekend in Sunnyvale, CA.

Loveldos:
Yes, it is the curved ornament.
I wish there was a grille available without the emblem, I'd rather see just one on the front.
I also have 2 Eldos that I love!

Carlnorum:
I bought it used and the stripe was on it, so I don't know if it was dealer or privately done.
