Rearend makeover - Hugger SS

Thought you guys might like to see the tranformation in steps that I've done to the hugger orange SS.

First photo: completely stock

Second photo: Added export style tail lights, and reflective CAMARO decal insert.

Third photo: Replaced tailpanel with gloss black one, added '97 style hugger/white SS emblem, and Hurst shifter emblem (the car is originally a Hurst equipped SS). "99 HOSS" vanity plate.

Fourth photo: close-up of '97 style SS emblem and export light.

The car has much more attitude now, I like it

Tony

Export tail lights I bought off of another member here. They are no longer produced and are quite pricey at $500 a pair typically. I've seen them sell for up to $650 a pair on ebay.

Tony,
Where did you get the 30th anniv. badge at? I've been looking for a badge like that for a while. Thanks for any help.

Tony, I see your selling your 35th Anniversary....I bet your gonna miss it, but I can understand that a 05 Vette and an open garage space would be a good reason!
