I hear ya... I bought my daughter an 06 Cobalt for College graduation. She can use it for her daily driver, and save the Vette for specials times!

Oh that's assuming I go anytime soon which I don't plan to. LOL

Nice work there. If I had known you were breaking out the MSG paint I would have sent you my ACI chin spoiler that needs to be repainted and paid you for it.

The guy that has done the install and paint on my MSG has told me it took him 3 hours to match the paint due to getting the metalic flake consistent with the factory paint.

Look great.
