they painted it the same color as mine. Glad to see they took it out and hammered on it when they were done, but I was pretty disappointed to see them half-*** the floor panel.

It ended up looking really good. Graphite grey with good looking wheels.

I need my own TV show. They made the painter work at record pace!

Yeah, what the hell? It looked like they left it bare metal.

My thoughts as well. Maybe we missed some of it that was not shown. I did like the way it turned out though. Looked really good when finished.

They went with a different wheel set up also. They were originally going to use Hopsters. Looked good overall though.

Interesting that they didn't mention the need for spacers on the hubs to fit those S/S wheels. They should've used the Hopsters.

Wonder if they really just used the factory type carpet padding that looked inadequete. Also wonder if they sometimes show them installing a sponsor's crap then use something better when the cameras are off. I would have gotten some real padding and heat barrier that covered the whole floor.
