the chevy symbols are simple vinyl...once i put them on i clear coated them with high temp
hmm, thats a great idea. I don't know why that didn't come to my mind. hmm... anyways, I finished my first two calipers, and I think they look really good. I can't wait for wednesday so I can finish the rear two.

good stuff....just make sure to post pics when all said and done.....it's a great thing to do for very little money and effort
I have the same ezact door sills but i dont have any vinyl behind mine. I also have the fuse box cover. When i got my door sills they were really beat up from ups thankfully i got an rubber mallet and some crushed velvet and got them as good as new. What kind of condition where yours in when you got them?
An btw the car looks awesome, is yours an auto or 5spd?

my sill covers were in excellent condition when i got them. they were packed so good it took me about 15 minutes to open em' up. my 2.4 is an auto as this is the commuter car of the family, although if i had to do it again, i would probably get the 5 spd.

if you got 18k for an M-coupe, you got the better end of that deal. around BMW circles, thats the going rate for a PERFECT m-coupe.

I got them from one of the vendors on here, only I added the red vinyl underneath them. Show me Street Customs is the name of the vendor. I don't remember but I think I paid around $70 for them shipped

Nope...I didn't have any fitment issues what-so-ever. The only thing that bothers me is that the leaves fall behind the lettering.....lol and they are a bit of a b*tch to clean behind there

Ok buddy, you apparently have no idea where the car was designed or where it comes from and why it was spelled LITRE, so I'll just ignore you for now and let you think your "mad tYtE" spelling SkIllz PWN Yo!!

GTOs ALWAYS had "litre' spelled that way. the GTO was pushed for it's euro flavor back in 196x. in fact, the original GTOs had the engine size on the fender in metric.

. I was just saying it as a joke. I know it is based on the Monaro. Sorry if I pissed you off though.
