Have you tried it on yours?

Thanks!

iroczilla, I have some of the SS emblems on order with GMdirectparts (backordered), I plan on painting them IOM as soon as I get them. As for wax -I have heard nothing but great things about Zaino, it requires more work, and "I want to drive it, not spend all my time rubbing on it"! I use TW Ice - easy on, easy off, and dries clear (works for me)! Post some pictures when you get it!!!!

Review: The car handles nice, and rides very well. The AC is so cold; you could hang Christmas ornaments from witches nipples. I am 6ft and about 245 pounds, I found the inside very roomy and I was not cramped at all.

Pros: Drop dead badass looking car, better than what I expected, and power to spare. A lot of people said the interior is lacking, I think the IOM/Blk is dead on. People stopped in traffic and gave me "thumbs-up", get ready. The grin still has not left my face yet.

Cons: No memory seating, I have power driver seat with heat but no memory setting (hint, hint GM). The polished wheels package upgrade is lacking for the money, there needs to be more chrome. I would have stuck with the midnight ones.

Pictures: This car makes my third black car, and after the last one I said I would never do it again. This is the best Black Paint job I have ever seen come straight from the factory. Not perfect, but 98% there, the pictures below is without any detailing by me or the dealership - that is the way it came. I put my Brazen Solstice GXP in the pictures also, so people could compare Brazen to IOM. I think the two cars compliment each other! As you can see I have added the IOM engine cover, and I will be adding color to the bowties in the near future, and some other little mods to. Please enjoy the pictures and I hope they are helpful.

Great Dealership: Any of you in the Hill Country of Texas or in West Texas, call Lubke's Cars & Trucks (1-800-215-8256), in Brady Texas. Ask for Cory Howard, they will treat you right

Red SS emblems (part #92228475) from GMpartsdirect.com. They are the same that are on the trunk lid & front. They look great to me!!!
