Looks good Rose. Now you only need to change the front grille, and rebadge it

Nice work there.

Basic, but is a daewoo inside, so is cool. Were do you get that carbon fiber paper.. looks great. :twisted:

Thanks for the comments. I do have a few more pics with one that includes the rear hatch wing, I will try to post them this weekend. As for the SWT items, you should be able to order them through any Suzuki dealer. I have already noticed the B Pillars and SWT mats on Ebay, but not recently.

I am toying with the idea of the carbon fiber interior trim but the fake brushed aluminum matches the air vents and creates a really nice look. If they come out with carbon fiber vent trim, I will probably move forward on that idea. The information center on the dash should have come with pop in/out inserts to allow one to customis their interior a bit more. I do not know what is involved to change that out currently.

Thanks! It is pollen season here and as soon as it passes I hope to get a really good wash and wax done with her and take a few more pics.
The pollen is so bad now that my gf washed my car yesterday and by the time I left her house, it was yellowish again.

Shaun, spring has not sprung as hard where you are yet since you are in PA! LOL
It is getting going here, and I am only a few hours south of you.
She is about 4 hours south of me and the farther south you go, the more pollen you get.
Time for the spring allergies to start for people ... I'm glad that stuff doesn't bother me.

We had a really mild winter here in NC and I had flowers coming up in February. Not to mention my strawberry plants have taken over part of the backyard. I expect to harvest a lot of basil this year as well as the plants this year went from flowers to seeds twice. The drawback is that the ants are out in full force already.

Where can I get the B-pillar covers?

[kinkyllama]

Where can I get the B-pillar covers?

The suzuki dealer should have them... or at least be able to get them. They had to ship in the spoiler

[CHNDROSE]

Someone sold them on ebay a few months ago, you might want to check there from time to time. I forget the price they were asking for on them.

Well, have not had her for a year yet but I am already replacing the tires. The new tires are the Kumho PowerMax 769 which is under the High Performance part of their catalogue.

Size: 195/55R15 85V

I paid a total of $295 which included the mounting, balance, new valve stems, disposal of the old tires, and their road hazard warranty.

As of today I have 32,000 miles and counting. Hopefully next year she and I will be able to stay around NC a bit more. If not then that awesome 100,000 mile warranty will be over in about three years, LOL.
