Got my 'mini' 45th Greenlight from eBay this week (well actually three of them). They are very cool. It's interesting that there's actually a serial number on the bottom of them. And way cool that I have number 2012! LOL

I bet it looks even better in person! Is that red leather on your seats and headrests? Looks great!
Also my advice is that if you do decide to go new rims, do it when your tires need replacing. Kinda common sense but that way you don't have to pay for a second set of tires after getting new Pzeros for the stock rims. Or that way you've used up the stock Pzeros to their extent. The latter is my plan.

We took delivery of ours on 5/1/12. We LOVE it! Today we swapped the oracle lighting from the old Camaro to the new one. (Halos, drl halos, afterburners) and the new painted side markers. While we had the front end off we put in the new heritage grille as well. Next is to wire up the halos & etc. Just not today.

Got any shots of the headlights on? They looked great before, I bet they'll look even better now! Sidemarkers look freaking sweet!

Mine should be waiting for me back at home.

And yes my rims are plastidipped. I love them and I wouldn't dare go back to stock rims!

It's an excellent method to determine whether you want black rims or not. If you don't like it, peel it off! (although I can safely bet you'll like it. )

Yeah I'm thinking I would like the black..keep staring at yours! Heehee.

The lights are in but not wired up to the controller yet. Spouse aka mechanic is out of town for work..hopefully next weekend! Wondering if we will get away with running reds around here. The other car we ran orange unless we had it in show mode running all the colors (parked of course...). The red will go great with the 45th stripe though.
