take em off the car, just sand down the clear coat really well so the paint would stick, did about 3 coats per wheels of gloss black high temp engine paint, and 2 coats of clear and let em dry for a night, and then put em back on,

what finish were the wheels? because my stockers are chrome. also, what grit sandpaper? I would really like to give this a shot. I might even throw on the salad shooters sitting at work, so I dont rush through it

Where'd you get the seats from? I've been looking for a nice pair of those for my Formula, problem is they're all damn expensive.

I need some too for my Impala. Ive been looking for a year and half and cant find any under $800 shipped.
The black wheels look alot better than the C5s did. I need that SLP exhaust. I want too much. But the car is sweet!

You mentioned that you made new tracks for the seats. Was it difficult and how did you go about doing that? I am in Australia and have a set of 4th gen power seats. The only problem is that the left(your drivers) is six way and the other seat is only power lumbar. I want to switch the seat so that I(driver) have the best seat. Any help on the bracket set-up? I realize that we are talking about different seats, but it would help me know some of the tricks before I start. Thanks.
