I know, it's just.. it's fake. I don't like fake stuff. Lol.

GM Part # 22618759, 22618760
They list them as a Shield and were $10.64 each on 5-27-07.
Ion, wouldn't wrapping them weigh more than hydro immersion? I thought it was about weight savings to you. I had one side done and they are featherlight by the way.

It's about authenticity and not being a poser.

Oldsnut, that looks fantastic IMO. How much did it cost to get the parts hydro-dipped?

I think it looks good Oldsnut. I vote for the Final 500 color of the car. It honestly has some color changing properties(with carying degrees of sunlight) and in sunlight looks spectacular far different from any other Gm paint I've ever seen. The only thing i hate about it is all women try to call it a purple car........

Thanks Nick
$60, which is more than I wanted to pay but was an experiment and they are large pieces.

I love the Final 500 color but that would give me 3 cars with very similar colors, my Aurora is Bordeaux Red which is very close to the Alero. it is a big dilema for me, my wife hates really bright, standout in the crowd colors so that limits many colors that I would like to use.
I get people calling it purple all the time.

Hey Ion, isn't your car the AOTM for best interior with a CF gauge bezel? Does that help with weight reduction or Speed? 
Couldn't resist bro.

I like them, oldsnut ... looks good. 
My '99 does not have those so they were either removed at some point or it didn't come with them.
