I'm sure whatever route you choose your car will continue to look badass!
Thank you my friend for the kind words and love for my baby! Yeah, when she had the gloss black splitter and spoiler on it before, she look great! The only reason I went with the CF ones was because I thought it would look good with the RJT. It did at first, but now she seems lacking with them. And yeah, she will not lose her "unique" look at all. And on the headlight covers, I intend to get another set because I truly love how they looked on the car, got a lot of good comments and compliments at the shows about them. I just wish they weren't 199 bucks now, where they used to be 99 bucks!! So yeah, going to do the change soon. Saving some bucks to get it all done. My paint guy whom I've been using said he would prep, paint and clear the splitter and spoiler for 300 bucks total.. Can't pass that up.. Thanks again sir!

Thanks Brother.... Pretty nice improvement in braking quality too with the SS lines.

Bought a Brake Motive pressure bleeder to bleed the lines which worked well, but the actual GM adapter instead of the universal adapter wouldve made the operation much easier.

I went in ready to rumble about getting the correct part number because I have an LS but have retrofit a HUD and remote start. They asked if the car had leather seats, I told them yes because I've also retrofit the factory heated leather seats. They claim they will be replacing with a GM part and that it's the one for the HUD and remote start (no fighting over part number necessary lol). Cost is supposed to be something like $512 installed. Will update on Wednesday after I receive mine.
Ok so. Update. I'll attach before and after pics. First set is the stamp in the corner. Before is gm. After is definitely not. Hud pic before with stock non-hud glass. Second is new hud and remote start glass. The hud is brighter and clearer in my opinion but smooshed. Like the font isn't as tall as it was but still the same width. The spit for the remote start changed. Before the dark spot behind the mirror was more squareish. Now it's rectangular and wide. They needed to remove the cover on the remote start box to make it fit. The mirror itself seems higher up as well like to the point I almost can't fit my fingers above it to adjust it without touching the headliner. Overall. It's looks nice but I think the hud is gonna take some getting used to.

When I had my windshield replaced on my 2011 2LT with the remote start and HUD etc. around 2013 ... I did not run into this problem. I went through Safelight via my insurance and made an appointment. At first they brought the wrong windshield and I had to wait an extra week for the correct GM windshield to make it work. I only had to pay $150 out of pocket for the GM windshield. But your HUD looks way off. Even from the front the black contrast where the rear view mirror is located and the black box that sits behind and above the rear view mirror...the black box should not be seen behind that black center of the top windshield. I have not seen this before. I would complain and make sure they install a correct one. Although I would not wait too long if I was you.

Looks great David! I love the memorial to your dad, given the history you and he have with the synergy series I think it’s incredibly fitting.

I actually got to give it a wash . I have been having a lot of skin cancer surgeries the past few months and have had to limit my activities so as not to tear open any sutures .
Done with those for now , but now have to start a chemo cream on my face and arms .
But my car does look so much better !!!
