Well as some of as you know, I had moi Diesel truck stolen about a month ago. I decided to put my big boy pants on, and suck up the fact that at this point in my life having a big heavy fuel sucking diesel truck just isn't practical. I live in the city, I take very short trips when I do drive and 90% of the jobs I am applying for are underground parking. IF I got a job with them I would have to park off site ($15/day), then bus in ($90/month pass), which is stupid when I can get free underground parking.

I pick up the car today. It is a 2LT has sun and sound package, convenience package, and best of all, RS appearance package. I had the dealer toss in the rubberized undercoating and spray all panels for half the price. Saves from from doing it in this bawlz cold weather and it will be done before car see's any real salt/snow.

PLans:

Waiting on confirmation on the MSR 095's. Brandon said they are being discontinued in my bolt pattern and this place said they had a set. I have been trying to get a hold of them the past two days. I paid upfront VIA internet but haven't got confirmation, and they haven't debited my card.

other mods include:

tint
drop coils
mild tune
cold air intake
down pipe
3k fogs
5k HI headlights
plastidip front grills and bowtie black
LED interior
and a few other this at that's I have red up on.


Next Q is my Katzkins. I had a set preordered awaiting phone confirmation. When they called they said the seats won't look like what the picture does :reallife: What's the point of the pic's then??

This is what I wanted:

what they say it actually looks like. It's not terrible but I prefer the really dark chocolate brown instead.

I am ordering the Katzkins when I get back from Vacation, so I am open to other suggestions for leather options.

what I want it to look like when done. Haven't decided if I am going to tint tails, and the rims I ordered are more silver than the ones below:

Congrats on the car. Plans sound good, excited to see it done. I actually like that color for the Katzkins, but your call obviously. I agree that it would look good a bit darker and/or more reddish. Carrying that color into the door panels at all? I've got 3k fogs and 5k headlights and fawking love that combo.

I'd drive the fuck out of that car last posted, the seats look gross with that interior color btw!

what int would you suggest?

Katzkins comes with 2 ton colour for dash and door panels. Getting extra for shifter.

the first pic, more of that darker color imo, especially with wheel color, that reddish/tan shit doesn't do it for me
 
Justin...you need coilovers...do noy do drop coils. GEt loaded coilovers, in winter swap stock struts and hats back in, then in spring reinstall coilovers. Itll cost 150$ a year but will get you as low as you want.

but srs. looks good man! glad your not going total rice, and keeping it clean
 
:crossarms: $1400 for seat covers, but it's the only thing I am splurging on. No fgt stickers going on car, Maybe a CustomGM.com on windshield. If Jared made more Bertt stares, I'd toss one on.
 
Im kind of surprised I've never seen that white cruze around town. I know exactly where all those photos were taken haha. I hope you get those wheels, they'll look sweet on that car.
