thanks

The gmpp (which is at the end a Borla S-Type) axle back is perfect for me. It's deep and growling and at high rpms it's screaming quite nice.
It could be louder of course
I would like to have some high flow cats but the risk is too high here to get fined....
high flow cats could result in a 1000$ fine and drivers license revocation for 1-3 months in the worst case

Where did you get the tail lights? The car is lovely.

these are the default lights on the EU model. At least one advantage we have over here

some updates:

I've wrapped some interior parts with 3M carbon wrap. Was not that hard except the dash bezel.










I also ordered the Z28 dash insert which is alcantara. I bought some original alcantara and wrapped the center console in addition. Love the mixture between alcantara and carbon.
I also wrapped the a-pillars just with alcantara, no stitching.

Came out nice I think especially for the first time. I even did the stitching by myself


I also created a bottle holder cover. Just cut a piece of plastic to fit in and added alcantara on the top. That piece is missing on the pictures











Only thing left ist the speedo bezel... I am not sure what to do. Wrapping is not possible and that water transfer stuff will look quite different then the wrapped pieces.
Other option would be to paint it white like the car but I am not sure how good this will look if the bezel is the only white piece in the interior

I did the same in my RS, that speedo bezel was impossible to wrap. I painted it matte black, here is how it turned out.
