It was hard work, but my car really looks like a SE now!

No one will ever know it's a GXE!

I'll post pics tomorrow.

Oh by the way, it cost me $10. saved myself $190.

PICS PLEASE!

I considered doing the same thing myself. I didn't know exactly how difficult it would be. Did you paint the inside or the outside or both?
