Looks really good. Def shows an attention to detail second to none
Posted a new write-up for the guides awhile back, pretty easy:

Close to the plan... I'm probably going with a satin black stripe that is outlined in the same color as the wheels and that has 346 black/chrome emblems on them.

It looks so killer in person though! I went through the trouble of putting it on top of the TA Bezel so it has depth and matches the Cobalts perfectly !

I love them and they move MORE (further forward and back) than stock with the custom brackets I have the universal sliders mounted on (PM me with any questions)...

-brushed aluminum door sills

Looking good man!
I've considered the ***** before... Only thing is they are the opposite of all my other "shiny" pieces (everything else is a surrounding piece that is shiny).

If I was **** I might pull the rubber off the *****, have them sprayed black and clear coated, then install the aluminun HVAC trim/plate and it would match the Nitrous Plate (getting a black switch cover for that thing took AWHILE to find).

The floormats aren't my taste. I'm probably putting Ebony SLP Performance mats in there.

If I would have kept some of my extra interior pieces (door panels trim, a/c vents, console, etc...) I might have done that (paint them gloss black) but since I didn't I don't want to mess up the nice ebony pieces I have.

The door sills are a possibility but might be a little much on my car...

I could care less if the hood stays like that for 10 years

I'm neither a die hard "go-fast" guy nor a die hard "make it shine" guy. I'm just a little of both. With that said, I have an end idea in mind for the car and the mods that get done first are the ones that come up first...

I have the hood because I got it for $450 because VFN was doing a GP. If they weren't then I wouldn't have bought it as early as I did.

I have the interior because I got it from a friend for $300. If he wasn't selling it I wouldn't have sought it out.

My next "planned" mod is painting the hood and has been painting the hood for awhile. Although, whenever a deal on something I planned to put on the car eventually comes along my "planned" mods get bumped down the list.

July 31st I am 99% sure the hood will get painted and the stripes/emblems put on...

I meant as in you in the seat. As if you are taking a corner and sticking in the center of the seat. For some reason on the stock, even in a mild corner, I'm sliding all over the place. I can adjust the side supports, but they loose air after a couple of minutes.
