Post what you did to er and maybe even a picture to accompany it.

Today I just washed it and did a quick wax job. It was pretty dirty from about 5 commutes to work!

Agreed, I had them on with the winter(stock rs 18s)because they are so narrow for 18s. Only 8mm front, 10mm rear and are tucked away until next winter.

So you used them to flush out the rims to the body?

Blacked out logos and ordered replacement passenger side front window.. rock from lawn mowing.... sigh... at least it didn't hit my wife's tahoe, more yelling involved there.

And then I power washed the trailer ... you know, one lousy trip in the snow and all of those garage pampered days shot to #377.

Interesting, how is the difference? Less fade? More stopping power?

Not yet, but it has been running OK for now. I still need to figure out how to differentiate between the three sensors and figure out how to tell which one is bad. I still have the codes.

Much more stopping power, I feel the car has the stopping power for the horsepower it has now. I haven’t taken it yet to test fade after a few good stops to heat them up.

Got the last of our vehicles (the Cruze) swapped over from the winters today. My brother's Mustang is the last thing to change over.

I am so tempted to do the same, but last time life dumped a ton of snow on me. Maybe next week.

It's been super nice the past few days - around 70 and sunny on Easter, and then 80 yesterday and today, and looks like it stays in the 70s for the next couple days, then down into the 50s and 60s...so it better not snow. But then again: we got like...two inches of snow late last week for no reason.

General update, two christmases ago I had a Kenwood Excelon stereo installed in the wife's cruze. Just recently i swapped the winter wheels for the summer wheels and gave it an it oil change Two weeks ago the wife drive through a flooded street and sucked water into the motor. Fortunately the shop kept it going by changing the oil two times, new plugs/wires, new air filter, and cleaned the turbo. Plus side i think it got rid of the rough idle when they cleaned the maf sensor! Yesterday i finished installing the rockford fosgate door speakers, they were much needed after the radio upgrade and made a huge difference in sound quality. Hopefully this thing lasts a while now!

So I've been working on this for a while, but I think actually done with it now. I used Rustoleum Peel-Coat to mimic a cool design I've seen on other cars, particularly the newer Jeep Cherokees. I also imitated an option Chevy offers on at least a few of their models where the rims are black except for a small red line on the edge of each. But I thought red was boring, and I wanted it to match the bowtie, sooooo...
The 2019 Chevrolet Cruze LS . . . Blueline

Wait, that's already a thing? Whatever, mine's better.
Just as a point of reference, this is what it looked like to start with:

I'm down with the Redline wheels, except a blue stripe...not feeling all the black on the body, though.

I honestly have mixed feelings about it. Thankfully, I can remove it if I get tired of it.

No fade pushing the brakes down pretty hard at 116mph, straight as an arrow then backed up a 70 to 0 stop at an exit... the car feels complete now.

It was time for a new battery... going from the presumably original ac delco battery from 2012, to a AGM interstate mtx H7. Cleaned the ground strap too and the car is running like a champ. Starter doesn't hesitate and the subwoofer is louder.
