Chibi, I really like your idea of painting the grey side skirts. It's definitely something he should consider.

I agree, I should consider that! LOL! Not enough time today to get that done though...I wish I would have thought about that earlier....Thanks a lot guys, now I will have that hair up my *** to do that to the car too! Errrr just what I needed...LOL! Well, maybe i'll settle down on upgrades for a bit and save some money, but that is a GREAT idea for the future...
Taz, you are 100% correct man, yes the dealer is outsourcing to have the leather installed, I could have just bought the leather through Chevy (because its a kit coming directly from GM) and had the shop install it, eliminating the middle man....What would this have saved me??? $50 bucks...no kidding, as i mentioned before, they are giving me everything at cost (apparently taking an extra $50 bucks for themselves, but I guess thats there time dealing with it...) Plus, the warrenty for 2 years is only offered through GM, not the shop installing it...so basically I am paying an extra $50 bucks, but that gets me a warrenty, and I don't have to deal with anything other than dropping the car off at the dealer, and picking it up when its done....so thats why I sent that route...
I did play with the idea of getting some sort of custom leather seating with two tone and all that, but decided I wanted it to be stock in that department...
I'm pretty excited as I mentioned earlier for all the stuff to be done! I think I forgot to mention that I also ordered replacement bowties for the front and rear...I went with silver metallic ones to replace the gold ones....that is the only upgrade that won't be done this weekend because they bowties are being made still....

Same here....I mean i'm pretty good about saving, but i'm also good at spending...look at how much money I just threw at my car...I think somewhere around $1100 bucks with everything! Ooops, that added up quickly...LOL
