bryanthompson Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 Howdy -- Happy 4th! Was the front signal light trim on the 78's always black? From what I can find in the brochures, it appears so. But every car I've seen has bare aluminum trim. Have they all lost their paint over the years ? By the way, any one out there got a nice condition driver's side trim piece? Mine is a little dented.

SUBARU3 Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 They were black originally, but the late 78's were bare metal. And yes, the paint came off. Todd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryanthompson Posted July 5, 2006 Author Share Posted July 5, 2006 Thanks, Todd. After disassembling it and closer inspection, I found the remnants of black paint in the corners. Its amazing -- Looks like there was no surface prep or primer and the paint was ultra thin. I imagine it must have worn away very quickly. Anyways, they've now been repsrayed satin black and they look really good. Also had those top-surface bumper flanges powder-coated black.

REXSPEEDWORTHY Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 checked mine out and found that it is only black where the 2 screws go on that top portion and by the grill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
