I can appreciate your stance, and the debadged look, but I personally prefer a stock, or "GM intended it to look this way" look...




edit: and try as I might, I do not understand how the word 'valor' ties into a car, or one attempting to be more or less ellusive about said car...
Valor to me is a term associated with knighthood - or high level of virtue in respect to one's actions...

Lol it sounded like it worked in my head. But some people like the stock look and some people like the sleek look.

ok... regardless of the "look" you prefer - do you think that rough picture I posted might look like an OE badge?

I modified the GM Performance Division badge that every one of our cars came with...
I was thinking that GMPD is behind all the performance parts ect, so it might be better to make a modfified GMPD badge, rather than some sort of GMPP badge...

like either one of these;



I think the badge would also need to be about four times as wide as it's tall to look proportionally "right"... kinda like the Mopar badge ~ this way you could have it underneath the "Supercharged" or "Turbocharged" badge - just like the SRT4's

I did quite like the heated seats in the Mazda rental I had during my accident repairs, and it was perfect because it was about -20 for 2 weeks straight while I had it... but honestly my hands and feet would still be frozen, and the rest of my body... only butt would be warm. Not really a dealbreaker for me.

I like the Badge.

Also that thread was hilarious about that red SS/TC. 260mph cluster .

Also heated seats are meh. If I had them I'd use them but never have. On fully leather seats I'd like them.

I want to go to secret street, too bad its 2h away. I might come up tomorrow to look at a couple cars though.

The recaros that were in the cobalt I test drove were worse than the stock seats. They were too narrow and not comfortable at all

Lmao, I don't think Adrian would be too happy.

No way, I love them. I'm tall/skinny and they feel perfect for my body.
