Nice seats, I'm trying to figure out which ones I want, looking to get Ostrich skin ones. Glad you got the Kilis 20", those were my 22" Kilis I sold to Pierre, once you go over 600+RWHP 22s are no good.

Like what you've done

Well needless to say I'm partial to IBM. I have one of the early 2011,got mine in June 2010. With the care of mods and love you have put in this car is unbeliavble. I read your whole build & and looked at all pics. As far as money goes I feel your pain for empty pockets Been there done that and still doing it. Click on my sig. it will take you too the build. If you don't get up for COTW it shouldn't take long before you do.

Those Kilis are a heavy wheel, especially the 22", I dropped close to 100lbs by going with the 20" Nurburgrings.

So can you tell me about the Katzin interior. Do you just remove the standard coverings and work the new one on? Did you do it or have a shop do it? I know there's plenty of interior shops here in LA, I see them everywhere, just wanted to know if you did the seats and the difficulty level. How come you didn't do the headrests?

I guess you haven't seen my build thread, everything gets posted up, 100s of pics LOL! Just click my sig. I think you'll be impressed.


EDIT: Excuse my ignorance, but what is LLT?

Looks great. Put your Camaro in for COTW. One suggestion get better pictures taken not that the ones you've got here are that bad. Good luck.
