Well i used to love the LT1 front end thats why i bought the car but i've had it since '00 and i just needed a change. I Love the car don't get me wrong its garaged under 50k miles but i really started liking the vfn sunoco hood and it just doesn't look the same an a LT1, not to mention the lighting. I had the Hella FF75 headlight conversion and it still sucked. Anyways everyone's different so its all good!
Thanks guys

Looks great man, I agree on needing a change every now and then, since I'm considering it myself...I really only like the LT1 look in black

But I love white/black combos man, looks really sick!

The LT1 hood is sitting in the garage most likely will be sold.
Interesting questions about the car won't bother me i'm not afraid to tell people that its not an ls1. I know the ls1 motor is better but i'm happy with what i got! Thanks for the compliments!!

Nice work and it looks sharp and your hard work paid off the paint job looks awsome. I just like the LT1 front cause it's very rare compared to a ls1 front end the lt1 is a dying breed almost extinct!!!Thats why I am keeping my SS bone stock.
