I used to buy everything though Summit or Jegs but I found a place that sells really nice fittings through Ebay but now I deal with them directly.
Sounds like me now lol. I used to use Summit and Jegs exclusively for that stuff, but there are some better/cheaper/free shipping options now if a less expensive order is needed.

It really gives everything a nice professional appearance. Do you use braided hose from tank to carb or just under the hood? Mind sharing the eBay seller's info?

So a few updates on the Regal:
Finished installing the GNX wheel flares
Blacked out the exterior chrome trim and polished the tail lights lenses.
Installed my new gas tank and braided line to the fuel pump.
Mounted my modified armrest/cupholder so it won't move.
And made a bracket and installed a battery kill switch under the hood for security and ordered some hood locks that I will install for the same reason.

I also bought some new 17 x 8.5" wheels and some Nitto 275/50 rears and 235/50 fronts so they are basically the same size overall as my 15" wheels.
I also added the Buick tri sheild to the center caps.

Daddy like!
Those AREs are sweet,too, though...
I still like the AREs but wanted something in a 17" but wanted a mesh style wheel for the Regal instead of the typical race style wheel I would normally get.

No paint?
It came silver but I painted it black since I wanted it to blend in but did consider keeping it silver for a moment.
