Thanks! Yeah, I hate gold emblems, and once I saw the Cruze taillights tinted, I needed to do it right away! LOL It's getting 35% tints all around Saturday. I am pissed because the H&R springs are on national backorder for 6-8 weeks!!! I ordered some Motegi M116 rims too, only 17" but matte black, my car is gonna look sick!!!!

I just installed ZZP o2 housing and catted midpipe, and WOW! What a difference already. The turbo spools up waaaayyyyy faster, and is much louder with the injen and the exhaust work. I may do a muffler delete, but the exhaust is all 2.25inch now, the o2 housing is 2.5inch. The intire stock catback is mandrel bent so aftermarket would be a waste of money. Borla is the only company who makes a catback right now and they are $800....f that! Tune is coming tomorrow I hope if not Friday for sure

Holy ****, if it's $23,000USD it would be $30,000 here with the same options, plus taxes! I've never looked at/built one, now I'm curious. In any case, congrats .

haha everyone wants to hear that!!!! Its really not much louder at all until you get on it. I will try tho!!! Turbo spools up much much faster and you can hear it spinning without giving it gas on start-ups

Spent the extra $150 and picked up Pedders springs which are also on back-order...4 weeks instead of the 6-8 weeks for H&R lowering springs.....How much of a drop do pedders give or does it depend on the car

Hmm I woulda got it fully loaded and waited to mod it, not get it without leather etc.. Then rice it out right away...to each his own. The new wheels are def nicer than the plain ass stockers though.
