I think it looks good either way.

I had never heard of "frunk" until Tesla started calling the one in their Model S that. Usually I wind up with "front trunk" or "rear trunk"--though I mostly just keep my spare tire in the rear trunk, because mine gets pretty warm.

Nice Mahle wheels, by the way.

Check all of the fuel lines, including the plastic ones that come out of the center tunnel underneath the car. Heat and age can take a toll and make the plastic brittle. That's not such a great thing for lines carrying fuel under pressure, especially near a hot engine. There are places that sell stainless replacement lines, or you can make your own from stainless fuel pipes of the right diameter. (Solid pipes, not hoses--the center tunnel gets crowded and hoses can get cut because they can move around.)

It's also a good idea to remove the screws that hold the bottom side of the rocker covers onto the car. (Those are the black parts under the doors.) You may be astonished at the amount of dirt and crud that falls out when you do that. The stuff gets thrown there by the rear wheels, and then it collects near the jack point and rusts that out and everything in the area as well.

Don't be afraid of testing unknown panels with a screwdriver--if you can poke the screwdriver through metal, it wasn't strong enough to trust.
