Well, I've had the car for long enough, and have started to make the mods I want to it. And so far, it's coming along rather nicely.
As you may have seen, I have added the old-school small S's from an older classic GM that my step-dad found in a junk yard. These wound up going on the front bowtie, saving me from having to go and buy a new one, or replacing it with the smaller trunk size SS emblem. And I must say, they look good, and the chrome breaks up the gold nicely.
Yes, I know that there was a small piece of the tape backing stuck in that one corner when I took the pic, but you get the idea.
My latest venture was trying to find the right set of headlights for the car. I originally spotted the black ones with the orange reflector on the corners, but then I found the ones that have the clear reflectors on the corners, which better match the chrome/silver of the bulb areas. I've attached them to the post, because I don't have any pics of it (the car...) on any other sites. There's certain people back home I don't want or don't need to know I got this, so they can fuck with it and cause more problems for me than they already have in the past. But enough of that, you'll see them below...
Some of the other things I have planned for the car include (in no particular order...):
*K&N CAI kit
*WeatherTech Floor & trunk liner set
*Flowmaster 40 series mufflers & resonator delete
*A hood scoop - considering I don't have the $800 for a new hood, and that $800 would go for new tires first...
*auxillary transmission oil cooler
*EJ's tinted LED tail lights - in which we are trying to arrange a meet for them...
*Overkill ECM & TCM - the TCM at least if not the ECM with it...
*18" KMC Rockstar wheels.
*possible strut tower braces front and back...
I was considering doing the Doug Thorley exhaust header set and the Magnaflow exhaust, but I'm not rich ( a labor intensive job to install those heads from what I've been finding out...), and I can get the sound I want from replacing the resonator with pipe and having a set of Flowmasters in the back. I'm not looking to go crazy with power, so it pretty much eliminates the want/need for the heads and other engine/power parts. The 300HP it's got from the factory is more than enough for me to enjoy and be happy with.
So the theme is blue and black, with a little bit of chrome here and there. I think so far I'm off to a good start. What do YOU guys think so far??
Will update as things happen!!!
