Thanks for your kind words about my car Kruza.. The seat retrims were $500 on ebay only 70% real leather but good for the price and for the kids with their drinks too..lol I stripped and trimed them myself took almost 2 weeks.. lol with 2 kids home for holidays... i had to have the rear middle section done by pro's cause i was over it...always running around with not enough seats lol..haha..glad i did it or else by now the velour trims would be mouldy for sure by the amount of shit my kids spill lol....lucky i love em more than my car;)....well most of the time...haha:D

thought noone would notice the v8 badge lol
haha
when i bought the cal it had a dent on the front of the guard i just recently bought a guard off a v8 calais same colour and swapped them over but had no glue to swap badges over yet....gotta buy some glue lol


Yeah vymick....Really needs wheels, needs work to irs and suspension first, then wheels will be going on!!... i had original hdt momo stars in white but have now sold them... thinking bout same momo wheels just rep's painted white.

Thanks all you guys for your nice com's on my car!
