02 SS and 97 SS, BEWARE LOTS OF PICS! i just cleaned, clayed, and waxed my car friday... also whislered my lights and cut the nipples off and wet sanded and had one of my friends buff them for me, and shorted my antenna, it's about 9in now so im no longer a RC car... and last night me and my friend took his borla off and put his stock exhaust on his car, but we had to wet sand it alot cause it was dirty and some surface rust... any ways decided to take some pics today, let me know what yall think...

nice looking cars you guys have. no info on 3rd car? it also looks good.
i like what you did with the headlight lenses, they came out great. But, as for the whistler mod, i'm not feeling
it so much. they really do the front end of your car no justice being the color they are. flat black?? it looks to
be very faded black, or a grey color. either way they look out of place. i think it'd look a lot better if you redid
the in a deeper black. perheaps semi-gloss or gloss black. that'd fit your car much better
oh yea, if your gonna wash the car and take pics, you always gotta remember the extra details, like your tires.
dry looking tires really take away from the car. get some dressing on them.

Awesome pictures! You should post them up on 35thLE.com.
It's always good to see some LT1 SS models around since they seem to be quite rare - I don't even think I've ever seen one in person.
Also why does your short-throw stick look "shorter" than mine?

i HATE tire shine!!! yeah it looks amazing when you first put it on, but i do not like it slinging all over the place and making the car look like ***, plus if you put it on all the time, it creates like a goo on your tire with some tire shines... i put it on prob once every other month, and i do it and then wash my car and wipe them down to avoid they slinging **** all over the place... in these pics i have note shined them since prob around nov...
the car looks great nonetheless.
beautiful SS

I do, I usually spray on the towl and then wipe... Still throws ****... I've tried liquid and gels... I've come to figure out that if you apply it before you wash it and then wash it, it does not sling as much and still looks good.
