The 500 emblem is wishful thinking huh? An Imposter! haha no actually the gold 380 emblem had to go and I already had the 500 one and wasn't going to waste money on a regular 380 one to have it on only temporarily.
I'd like to find a Euro 500, but since I already have two available motors, a US-500 and a Euro-380, I'm leaning more toward the 500, and have a thread for discussion on it here:

A custom exhaust is planned after most likely using euro logs and factory downpipes. They're cheap! $45 each and available from Germany! 126 490 27 19 and 126 490 25 19 for anyone else interested, they work with both 116 and 117 euro logs. Currently its a factory system with a straightpipe rear muffler (it rusted off). Not really any louder with only the resonator on it.
Still have plans for a set of H&R's and sport shocks, it handles like a boat on turns now.
Dunno about wax, I just let one of the detailers do it, they have electric buffers. The paint is pretty tired but it comes back for a little while after a buff. Too much time spent baking in the sun
Now I usually put alpine radios in all my cars but since this one has the navi option as well as ipod controls I'm going with this one for the car:
Before I can get the car painted though, I have to find someone to cut out the rear quarters on it- it's been bondo'd in the past and looks horrible.
