Yeah I agree, I don't like anyone to work on my cars really.. I am happy with it, I wouldn't give up until I was. Practice makes perfect, I'll eventually do the whole car. The mirrors are what's giving me the hardest time, I've tried and tried to no avail. I'll get it sooner or later

That does looks better with the hash and strip off... Is your car dirty ? I wouldn't expect that from "the master"...

I use your recommendations for products and technique exclusively on my car now... Can't thanks you enough! I love the waterless wash

For this reason alone GM should have made spoiler and decklid configuration completely configurable from the start on all trim levels.

Yes, I know their engineers insist that the SS is capable of speeds that require the mandated SS spoiler to keep it stable at, but no one who isn't a serious track/race user is going to ever come close to those speeds. And those who do will undoubtedly opt for any spoiler of their choice for their needs.

I personally have no problem with the SS spoiler but I understand those who do.

Glen you should seriously think about painting your rims gloss black. They'll look so nice with the car

Please no. They look better in silver. (Just my opinion)

This is my third set of wheels on my car, I prefer polished, esp powder clear.......... The black just disappear when you're rolling and look like big black holes to me… Yes it looks more nasty, and earlier in my life maybe that would be the way to look, but this car is supposed to be more luxury upscale than sports this time.

Very nice shot man. You put the hash marks back on? Good move. I think it looks better with just the hash, rather than the hash+bottom stripe or just the bottom stripe.

Glen although I like your polish wheels and it does give it a cleaner look. But the black wheels you have here just looks badass. The black rims really flow with the black accents of the front bumper.

Well, glad u can switch them if you want so that's cool

Yeah I'm not into "badass" at this juncture/point…done that on many other cars in my life.
The problem I have with black, and it's just personal opinion, is it does look bad ass when the car is sitting and posing, as in the picture. But the minute you start rolling, it just looks like dirty black wheels and big black holes where you should have some bling.

Next year these may come off if I can find either a black wheel with a nice polished trim ring, , or a true solid machine face black wheel.
