Cool leather on the way!

I took the plunge and ordered Katzkin leather from promotiontuning. Talked to the guys over there and today and went through it.

Dark graphite outers with perforated silver inserts.

Hope that will look good and tie the interior together.

According to James @ promotiontuning we don't need the $100 install kits for the HHRs, supposed to be simple velcro and a few zip ties. No rings or need for hognose pliers. Next week I'll find out how easy it really is.

Thumbs down Wtf

Can someone tell me the point of someone editing my pics - the resolution and quality is now decreased but the file size doubled!!!

they were all 800 pixels wide and ~100KB each in size, now most over 200KB but only 640 pixels wide.

does this make sense to do?!?

Wow, I didn't know you could get aftermarket leather like this for our HHRs.

Please keep us posted!

From the site rules:

Picture Size in Posts - If you are using the [img] tags, please make sure your pictures are not bigger then 640x480. If your pictures are larger then that, please resize them or if you can’t, just post a link. Many people are using dialup. Be respectful.

A Fall Edition with a manual..... I bet there were not many of those.

Watch the "black" chrome tho, I've heard complaints of it peeling. I would just use soap and water on them.

but doubling the size of the file doubles the length of the download! I had the files pretty well optimized for size
