Default Updated the 97 SS, must see!

Well, I guess not a must see, but definatly a big improvement!!!

heres what I started out with:


and heres what happened this week!


I upgraded from the 97 SS spoiler, to the 98+ SS spoiler, got stainless SS emblems, and CAMARO inserts, all courtesy of DragonZ28 aka muffinbuster, and the cou de gra, the Center Mount Exhaust.
Thank god I finally got it all put on. Comments are welcome!

p.s you can really see the difference between the Stainless letters and the acrylic ones, made by Subthump.com.

The center tips helped the car A LOT. Looks much better that way. I like the SS letters on it now a lot better as well. Good looking car.

Love the CME soooooooooo much better than those shot gun tips you had. The CME was one of the first mods I did, right after I got rid of those gawdy Red SS emblems. I see you did the same. Looks very nice!

Almost looks just like mine.

damn, that's a good looking rear-end

only thing i would change is to properly align the SLP emblem (down and to the right a tad) and some export taillights.

Looks really nice man, at first I thought you painted your car black. The lighting made the first pic look like the car was Navy Blue. lol

That's the wife's 2001 SS, I installed the same stripes on her car as mine but it is NBM and has a Corsa with premium pro tips so I don't think she will give that up for the CME.

yeah i gotta fix that slp emblem, it is kinda awkward, and i love the manta, but i think id rather get the 35th style silver metallic stripes. who knows, plus its an lt1, so the manta looks kinda weird since the intake is a bit wider than you ls1 guys.
