Lol we definately have different tastes in cars then. But thanks for the opinions. And yes I know its not a chevy and the white dash is my fav part. But everyone likes something different so oh well. I also have the tint just need to get someone to put it on, the two small side windows are already done. Prolly gonna black out the front and rear lights also.

I dont even know what the dash kit is made out of, its like a rubbery matterial that was very easy to put on and that way you get no bubbles so it was nice. and yes the tires are way to small ha. I do have a reason for that though. The tires and rims were free. I got them from a buddy that sold his car and he was like here man you can have these. Im currently looking for a not so low profile tire and it will look much better. That stupid bra left a permanent line across my hood that I have to get rid of before I can take it off. Everyone hates the rear decal but I personally love it cuz it says my name and makes it my car ha.

I was going to tell you to take the bra on the hood off because it would do precisely what it did, left a line across your hood but you saved me from that.
Take it off now before it does more damage or cuts down to bare metal if it hasn't already done so.

Ya thats prolly a good idea. It looks like its just a line of dirt that is stuck on there real good. Have to find some product that will scrub that off.

goo-gone or son-of-a-gun should work. Try a garden hose with high pressure first (NOT a pressure washer! lol)
I'm not a fan of the seat covers, but everything else looks ok. keep up the good work.

Lose the bra and the Chevy plate on the front and the rest looks good to me. Just tint the windows too so that it better matches the black rims and you should be set. All in all car looks good imo and the white painted interior doesn't look to bad either.

Ya I am looking for bigger tires at the moment. Have a wanted add out ha. But ya I think chrome would look nice on the inside two, maybe even carbon fiber. There were a bunch of choices when I was picking, I just wanted to match the outside in the end.
