*** EG's FIRST BLING !!! ***
Yes, it has been a year in the making, but I finally bought my FIRST BLING !!!
Genuine GM OEM polished wheels in stock sizes - but that is blinged out enough for me. I'm going to strip off the clearcoat and polish them up, nice and sharp. Coupled with some new rubber, and Grond will be ready for the Concourse
Thanks to "Diviniti" for selling them to me
But it wouldn't be me if I didn't also buy some performance mods too :bb :bb Dynatech Supermaxx Cat deletes, rear O2 blockoffs and AIR pump delete.

" "Bling Bling" is a popularized hip hop slang term which refers to expensive jewelry and other accoutrements. The term is thought to be derived from the onomatopoeia of a visual effect used to denote light glistening off metal or jewels.
The word gained acceptance in the late 1990s/early 2000s as a result of gangsta rap music and videos, which frequently glorified high class clothing, jewelry and other possessions.
Mainstream hip hop music's fixation on bling bling and other material and luxury goods has led to much criticism from media pundits and musical critics. They charge that the phenomenon promotes consumerism and materialism, and strengthens racist arguments that young African American men are incapable of higher or more virtuous or spiritual goals than material gain. "

Watch out for that slippery slope, EG. Next thing you know, you'll be getting those chrome inserts for the rear fascia, and lots of those chrome pieces for the engine compartment along with a chrome exhaust plate and license frame.
Ask me how I know!
