Default 35th LE APS FINALLY DONE

Well,its finally done after a year of sitting on wooden blocks in my garage after Be Cool sent me a bum rad last year that destroyed my new Rossler stage 3 tranny and alll of the coolant lines While it was down over the winter, i lowered the ride 1.2'' with a Strano setup,and placed 1/2 strut spacers from BMR up front to even her out a tad,Also installed a new S60 rear with a complete corvette brake conversion kit all the way around,then installed a set of new 18'' CCW 505a rims and finished her off with the install of a GMMG which exits threw my SLP CME. I also gaver the under hood area alittle love while i was at it LOL

Definately feeling the side flags, and what I think is a shift light in your top pod.

Im pretty sure i got em from 4th gen decals or something like that.There a perfect match to the factory strips too!! They even have the little, tiny, black dots in the vinal for shadeing like the OEM one's do. I wouldnt change em for anything .It really sets off the side of the SS and looks OEM too! IMO LOL
(PS) There silverby the way or just tell em you have a 35th LE!

Its funny, before i got the LE. I rarely saw any of these cars out driving around and once i get it. Im spotting them all over the place lol There's actually 4, if i count my cousins LE but he lives in another town but still within the west texas area. I wouldnt be surprised if theres another 1 out there somewhere lol Im the only 1 with CME and bolt ons, as far as i can tell and probably sideflags in the future lol

I love my side flags! I saw a LE with the flags in a camaro mag some years back on the track and it had the thin red line going around the outside of the tires WHICH I ALSO LOVEDon the LE's LOL and couldnt find em no where.Then last year, i cam across that 4th gen decals and there they were I bought em the next day. LOL HONESTLY,,,They match the OEM LE flags to a tee If you get em ?Youll be impressed .I was actually thinking about asking 4th gen decals if theyde cut the build # into em where the flag sits on the front fender?They make these flags with camaro cut into em too,but im not to big on those. Did you find or pull up the site yet?
