Picked up the bench seat trim and hub caps today. I also ordered a set of correct reproduction front and rear floor mats for the new carpet.

Only difference on the hub caps from SS to standard Impala are the center caps (spinner on SS). The set on the car is OK/driver quality. We had an extra set of less than driver quality standard caps that came with the car so I dropped them off at the guy who is doing the anodizing (he also restores the trim and related pieces) and asked if he could make them look any better. I don't have a "before" pic of the hubcap but what I got back was a piece of absolute jewelry that is better than I imagined they could look - the pictures don't do them justice. I will need to repaint the silver in between the ribs and install new caps. I about fainted when he told me what the bill was to do them but they are perfect - I am now afraid of denting or scratching them when I eventually put them on the car. The seat trim was cleaned up a bit more and re-anodized. Those pieces look NOS. Anxious to get the body trim back in a few more weeks. I drop the car off at the interior shop tomorrow.
