Got the car back from the shop tonight: black roof wrap and tinting. Very pleased with how it turned out, gives the car a bit more attitude. Can't really capture the roof in this light unfortunately.
If you powder coat the rims will you do the whole rim or just the silver accent?? I have the same color and I was going to do the bleach accent. They powder coat the whole wheel then machine the face like stock. Complete job $780 mounting and balancing included. Nothing is cheap
Looks good beauh! The more I see of this color, the more I'm happy with my NGM choice. The color in the overcast light gives it a different look. Any more plans for the car?
Yup I've got black trim, vents, and a PBM spoiler on order, hopefully will be in next week. I've also got gloss black Holden Logos that I may/may not put on. My original plan was to completely dechrome the exterior, but I'm kinda liking the contrast of the bright work around the windows. Door handles will probably go NGM eventually.
Am planning on powder coating rims black, and I am currently considering getting some new black chrome rims for my summer set, I think that'd look really good on this car. I'll need to replenish my discretionary budget so that's a few months out. (Thankfully so is summer). Guess I'll hafta read through all the wheel threads now...
Detroit wheel and tire co has your wheels in PVD black chrome. And if you send them your stock set it's only like 900 bucks for the set. They look really sharp. Check it out on their site.
Beauh, I am also in the Puget Sound area and have been trying to find a NGM to look at in person. I thought Evergreen in Issaquah had one but I drove out there and it is not in yet. Sales guy I talked to said no 2017 SS have been delivered yet in the local area but we know better! The pics of yours sure look awesome.
I know of at least 3 that have sold in the region: a HW M6 out of Renton, mine out of North Bend, and an OBM M6 out of Bellevue. Seriously random distribution, and each only had 1 in. According to Bill Pierre Chevrolet in Lake City, they have some arriving tomorrow, don't think there's an NGM though (ask for Jose Vasquez if you give them a call).
I'd definitely be down for a meet up. Not sure where you're at Pat, but given Bob's in Federal Way, I'm thinking Starbucks HQ would be a good centralish location. It also happens to be where the last Seattle meet up was. I'm a bit crushed on Sunday, but I may be able to get down there around 10AM or 4PM tomorrow, pending confirmation with the S.O... The same S.O. who took the SS out for a girls' night on the town whilst I sit at home with the kids. They did request to watch Empire Strikes Back so I guess I could have it worse...

Hey guys,
Unfortunately I won't be able to make it down to SBHQ until about 4:30-4:45 today. Bob I know that puts you in kind of a tight spot. I freed up some time tomorrow morning too; I can be down there about 10 AM, that would probably be better for me.
Unfortunately I'm booked all day tomorrow, but if today doesn't work then no problem, I'll catch up with you another time. If today will still work, just say the word and I'll be down there- but whatever works best for you.
Ok then, let's shoot for 4:30 today. I'll be heading down down as soon as my wife gets home, which should be 3:45-4:00
