Oh Ew. Nice feature poor execution. I do kinda dig the car other than that. I'm on the fence about the spoiler and wish the wheels were a bit glossier.. But hey, it's not my car.

Yeah i was going to tell you they were back up sensors but Mick beat me to it haha i agree, they are kind of an eye sore but i love have them. And i completely with wanting more gloss on my wheels, the glossifier did not really turn out how i envisioned it. That's why last night i bought some silver metalizer, and some time next week I'm going to peel all the paint off my wheels and reapply brand new matte black and put a couple coats of silver metalizer.

Ill make another thread for that when i do it!

Thanks for all of the kind words guys! I'm really happy with how she is looking so far, and keep wanting to do more. I just bought a K&N Typhoon the other day and now I'm just waiting for it to get here! Going to install that ASAP. Also just bought a couple cans of silver metalizer and plan on reapplying matte black on my wheels and adding the metalizer. I'll make another thread for that when i do it. Thanks again guys!

You can just update this one since we're all already subscribed to it that way we can see how the new wheels turn up.

I have the k&n and you're going to love it. Be prepared for a delightfully obnoxious turbo.

Personally, i love what you did with the rims! I'm currently saving for some 18" satin-black rims and new tires, and i HATE the stock rims on my 2012 Cruze (LT).. Kind of inspires me to try the plasti-dipping. Also, you mentioned blacking out the silver interior trim? Do it.
I ordered a carbon fiber interior kit, it turned out great and cost me less than $100, which includes what i paid a professional to put it on for me!

They are powder coated so whatever the place did to them before they put them in the oven to bake them.. I love them I thought about doing the plasti-dip but I figured ehhh why not if I don't like it I will just sell them and buy new ones..

how do you get the chevy emblem to be black?

I popped the center cap out because it is plastic and cant be powder coated then after the wheels were done and I got them back I hauled a wheel into walmart with me and matched the color of black with the spray paint that they have.. Got a few weird looks but hey I matched it and it looks great!!
