Default Updated pics of the 00SS

221,000 miles and still going strong, but she needs a makeover! So here's what's done (appearance wise)...

Mecham Hood
New SS spoiler (original was damaged by a semi that forgot to hit his brakes, and was replaced by ugliness, until a few days ago)
Export Taillights
New Style Black Corners
Black ZR1s
LEDs (front and rear turns, markers, and tail/brake lights)





Here's what's coming...

6LE GMMG Grill (satin black grill and bowtie, already have it, just haven't installed)
6LE Splitter
6LE Targa Top????
18 x 9.5/10.5 Satin Black C6 Z06 wheels
Tint
Corsa Clones (attached to Bassani TDs)
Satin black berger (instead of gloss)
5000k HIDs
Strano/Konis
Black Dual Halo Projector Headlights

Then the car gets a fresh coat of paint in this color!


ETA: Spring 2009!

Finally making enough money to do the things I've always wanted to with this car, let me know what you guys think.

Sounds like you got a lot ahead of you. I'm interested in how the car looks in that color. Keep us posted!

How many of those miles have you put on it? It deserves a makeover at this point although considering the mileage its not in bad shape at all. Good luck on the "list"

That thing is going to look killer! Are you going to body color the hoop (sail panel) and mirrors?

We have first production piece Targa already pre-sold and I and Neil were next in line but if you really want one we can make you number 2. Just selling at our cost right now to keep CF guy busy and in the positive, top will be $1000 (not sure if that is with or without shipping yet) but it will be finished CF with factory latches and headliner material...

Can't way to see your car that color

I'll be in on that just as soon as I take care of something. I bought a new DD the other day, and I need to pay that off before xmas.

But as soon as that's done, I should be ordering all of the parts I need from ya

And yes, I'm gonna do body color on the sail panel. After seeing a couple GMMG cars that are close to that color, I couldn't see any other way to go.

Yep, Very nice looking T/A. Too bad my exhaust has about 1 1/4" clearance (without me in the car. . .)

Nice looking car for the miles that are on it. Those tail lights, aren't those pretty rare? Don't see them to often.
