Nothing crazy just some small things I’ve done lately

This is my 2009 cobalt SS that I’m mostly just doing OEM+ type mods on

First pic, is where I relocating my traction control button, usually it’s directly on the right of the steering wheel. I did this because I found some Pontiac g5 trim at the junkyard and didn’t wanna drill a hole in it (the ‘carbon fiber’ pattern interior trim only comes in the g5 and people really like it so when they pop up for sale on eBay of Facebook they want a lot of money)

Second pic is the g5 trim actually installed, with the black HVAC controller (usually all these pieces are silver) plus my carbon vinyl wrapped steering wheel button thingies, I’m changing these soon I don’t like how they turned out, better than the silver though.

Third and fourth pic are mostly to show the Chevy bow ties, I just quickly painted them after masking everything off, turned out pretty alright tbh. I wanted to paint the SS badges too, the white parts black but leave the silver but idk how I’d do that cuz masking tape won’t really work well to cover the silver parts

Next on the agenda is making a fender well intake, then I have autocross this weekend so I don’t have any other mods in mind before then.

I need a second opinion

Hey there, working on my mom’s 2018 procharged Camaro SS now cuz the belt broke (again) I think that the super charger is misaligned and causing the belt to walk and then break. This is the second time the belt has broke within like 5-7k miles. It broke in December pretty catastrophically, I had assumed at the time it was because the front main seal had leaked and got oil all over the belt so we chalked it up to that. But it just happened again and (to me) it seems like the super charger is very likely causing the belt to walk, in the fourth picture you can see how hard it is pressed against the inner lip of the supercharger pully

Do y’all think that is the case too? If not the belt walking what else do you think is causing the failures?
