Default Finally bought one

So, I have always wanted a WS6, and I finally found one and traded my silverado for it. Its an 01, with no cats, full length GMPP stainless headers, with what looks like at least 3 inch exhaust all the way back to what looks and sounds like a flowmaster. It also has an SLP lid I believe. So here are a couple crappy cell phone pics I took real quick yesterday after I got it home:







Its got a few bumps and bruises, but not too bad. Anybody have any idea how to keep the fuse box cover on? Looks like someone tried to velcro it on but the glue on the velcro just melted Anyways, glad to be a part of the community and I look forward to learning more about these sweet cars

That velcro you're talking about is probably the factory's way of keeping it on. The cover and box each have attached to them what look like velcro pieces that mate together when the cover goes on the box. The cover should also have two little sharp protrusions at the top that fit into two holes in the box, lining up the cover and the box, as well as the two velcro pieces. Just glue those "velcro" pieces back on the cover and the box, if they fell off.

Thanks guys, I appreciate the comments. Yea, the velcro pieces I just read that was from the factory. I threw them out I guess I can try to get some different velcro from the store, any suggestions on the best kind that won't fall off?

Nice looking car man! Feels good to finally get something you've wanted for so long! I waited 4 years, until my daughter able to get in and out by herself before I got mine.
