I'm not usually a fan of the Chromed out thing but the wheels are sweet on this ride--I would 86 the gas cap and pedals tho-

Looks perfect, and the painted ground effects look great, I wish the ground effects came painted from the factory, I would have got them.

The SS emblems are on upside down. Stand on your head and you can see the difference. Still looks sharp though. Lower it and your done.

Look again... yes they are upside down..if you look at other chevy badging like you mentioned to do you will notice this. (see below for explanation)

If you look at the SS on the floormats and on the pedals in the pictures posted the bottom part of the SS is one solid line and has no break/space between each "S" and the top part of the SS has a small break/space between each S. this is the difference between the top and bottom, hard to notice but picky people tend to notice those little things lol.

Now look at the badges on the GFX.. the TOP of them is one solid line with no break or space, while the bottom has that small break/space between each S, which is incorrect. Again not trying to be mean in any way, just pointing it out as it is an easy fix

But they are indeed upside down. The average person would not notice this, as they look fine, but GM's design for that logo was intended to have the gap between each "S" on the top, and for it to be solid/connected with no gap on the bottom.

Hope that helps!

Looks fantastic! I'll add this to the list of ideas about how I want mine to look when I get it in a few years.
