You're missing rear center caps and lower it.

Thanks a bunch, guys! Very humbled and very happy with everything so far!

I just wrapped up most of the interior- OEM GM Carbon Pattern Center Console Surround, OEM GM Centennial Edition Alcantara Shift/E-brake boots and console lid, all with blue stitching, and Pioneer AppRadio 3 from DoubleDMods!

Looking pretty clean now, just have my Centennial steering wheel waiting to go on and need to order up the Centennial seats (alcantara with blue stitching of course) then the interior is good to go!

(though I kind of want to alcantara wrap the a-pillars too )










For comparison's sake:




In that final shot above ^, I'm still running the GPS antenna and microphone wires, so those will be tucked up under the dash and run to the A-pillar tomorrow. Got tired.

Where'd you get that suede center console cover (and how much) if you don't mind.
