thanks fellas.

all of the stickers (tapshift, fuse box cover GXP, and door sills) are from www.reflectiveconcepts.com. the guy that owns it is Matt and he can make just about anything since he does custom orders. i also have an oil cap overlay coming in next week. as far as under the hood i didnt paint anything. Flip over on gpona.com painted everything (STB and diagonal bars, headlights, fuse box and also my tails, reverse light, 3rd brake light). he is in the process of doing my engine cove so once i get that on ill be throwin up pics again with that for sure cuz it will finish the look i want. he does great work and is very resonablely priced.

i like it now after i got it to sit right. it took me about 2 hours just to get it in and about 3 weeks later i was pissed cuz it still didnt look right so i started beating on it and it fell into place haha...i have the older style box but i guess a lot of guys on clubgp in the GXP section were havin a lot of fitment issues and CAI ended up sendin out new boxes because they werent fitting correctly cuz apparently the impala's and GP are a lil different. i like it a lot more then the K&N and i noticed better throttle response too which is always a good thing

Yea it took me about two hours also, but like you said it does have a nice throttle response. Do you have a PCM programed?

nope. i still have my warranty for another 4 years so i am tryin to hold off as long as possible before i do anything with the PCM. it sucks but i plan on doin a lot more to the engine a few years from now and will get it tuned then. tryin to be patient on this **** f*cking sucks.

I might be blind, but what'd you change on the headlights? I like the door sill stickers, might have to get those.

they are painted to match the color of my car. it is something that is a lot more noticable in person. my color has different looks in different lighting. im glad they turned out that way cuz i didnt want the first thing someone noticed about my car bein the headlights instead of the car itself.
