Default New to me 08 'Pala SS
Just picked up this 2008 Impala SS last week. Love the car so far. I've got some minor plans for her, mostly cosmetic and she's going to get a little sound...

Thanks for the compliments. What sort of coating do you suggest? I've already given them a coat of chrome polish...

Bad purchase. I own one of these cars and it has been the BIGGEST pain in my *** since I bought it new. 2 sets of tires, 3pcms, 1bcm, new dod manifold, oil eating pos, leaking window seals, bad driver seat, etc.... The dealer knows my car/name on a 1st basis. Hope yours is better, but from the research I have found and the GM terrible/weak r&d that went into this car it is NOT good. And Yes this car is BONE stock with NO mods what so ever and is DAILY DRIVEN.
