Definitely like to meet up and see your car! I almost got SB but the factory had already deleted the color from the line in Nov. I love what you you did with the carbon. I went flat black cuz once you go that route the carbon accessory list never ends!

My daily 09' Pontiac GXP came from the factory with black chrome 18" wheels, and first time I saw the look. Only factory choices were these or bright chrome. I like the black chrome much better.

RPA_Knut, what color is your GS? Is the car supersonic blue? The red caliper covers look very nice on it.
thanks
WOW! Those wheels make the CRM look like a sports car.

I had my stock painted wheels removed and Black Chromed. It is PVD chroming process that is basically powder coating with a flash a metal film between a base primer and a top clear coat. It ran about $1000 and took two weeks. They put my car on "Bricks" why the wheels were getting done. They also do PVD in regular chrome and a midnight black chrome. I almost went with the midnight but it's dark and had the race mesh kit in regular black chrome so I stayed with that and glad I did. Also a 5 year warranty and super easy to clean. You can wax them every once in awhile to keep them fresh. Easy to clean is a must with these OEM brake pads the dust is ridiculous and that will be my next upgrade new ceramic pads! This was a long blurb but hope I it helps you guys out.

The calipers are not covers. They are the same style that are one the ZO6 (from the factory)
