Smile 2000 SS pics after Corsa tips and Wings West Grill

Now that my car has 100k miles, I thought I would make it look a little better. I added the wheels a month ago and just installed the grill and Corsa tips this week. Let me know what you guys think, I am pretty happy with how the outside of my car looks now. Thanks to "ZDOG" for the Grill and to "9silverbird8" for the tips.

i think it realy looks good! i like the wheels and the grill with the new tips..... it realy looks clean. if it was my car "IMO" i would remove the ls1 chevy decal on the fender to "CLEAN IT UP"!! and maybe i would add a stripe the same color of the wheels on the hood and trunk. just a idea! car is A+ ! nice work

thanks for the complements, I got the original Corsa premium tips from "9silverbird8" hear on the board, used. Yeah, I can't believe I have over 100k, there are 3 door dings, dimples in my quarter panels and 2 rock chips on my hood; other than that the cars in really good shape.

Nice Tips...
I had tips like that one year, but the lip was real thin on the end of the tip, and they were hard to see straight behind the car.
Those got a thicker lip... I like them.
275/40's look nice and wide too!

Thanks, I went back and forth between these tips and the Corsa knock offs, I think I made the right choice! Actually the rear wheels are 18 X 10.5 and the tires are 295's

Thanks, the car rides a lot stiffer than stock, but it's worth it, handles much better. I did end up taking the rear springs out and replacing them with cut stock springs. I kept hitting the bump stops on the axle, now there is no problems. Eventually I'm going to put the rear springs back on when I can get some Koni's.

That has got to be one of the nicest high mileage fbodys I have ever seen !!!

Don't do alot more to it, what you have now looks great.....any more might be overkill. IMO.
