Default Photos of the new SS LE 'vert

Well, here are the photos of my newest toy! You will also see some pics of a clean red T/A next to my new SS, that car belongs to my girlfriend Lisa. And, she also hates automatics

2002 SS Convertible

Looks awesome. I think that I like the seats the best. Is that a factory rear view mirror? I'd love to have temp/compass on my TA.

How much longer until the 35th matches the "Extreme G?"

Congrats...

Looking good! It'll be sweet when you get the stripe on to match the '69!

Nope, not factory. The previous owner installed that. I found quite a few similar setups on ebay though, costing between $80-150. Most of the fullsize GM trucks have these mirrors.

Not sure about putting the hockey stripe on it now. I was only going to do that if the current stripes came off. I've heard a few horror stories about removing them, so I may just leave the car alone.

Yes, it needs to be lowered, but not slammed though.

Congrats Tony,

The new SS looks good, buddy! No mods to this car? That's what I said about the vette, it did'nt last 3 months!

Enjoy the new wheels!!

Andy, I love the CME (Center Mount Exhaust) on the Camaros. That lower valence really finishes up the back bumper on them. I don't like seeing the muffler hanging down on these F-bodies. Do you know if any companies make some nicer tips to replace the stock tips? Or, I might just have them polished on the outer edges.

Nice SS Tony! I love the CME too, the rear bumper looks more complete with that rear valence, IMO. To make mine shinier, I sanded down the tips using 200 and 400 grit sandpaper, then polished them. They look a lot better now, and are easier to keep clean.

Congrats on the purchase

Yup, the CME tips are a PITA to keep clean. Polish the hell out of them with Mothers or like Steve said, chrome them. Thats what Im doing w/ mine.

BTW, nice car.

Good luck=)

Lookin' goood! Let us know what you decide on the lowering. I hear a few vert owners say the rear end squats more than the front. Been considering the Ground Control for this reason.

Tony-
I have some Bassani tips sitting on my living room floor waiting to be installed when I finally get my headers installed. I'm going to talk to the muffler guy, he's going to have to bend some pipe back there to get them to fit, but shouldn't be a problem. I'll post pics when it's all done.

Oh, the bassani tips are oval on top, and flat along the bottom. Kind of like a sphere, cut in half.
