Default My New Ride

Well, i finally got pics of the new ride. Had it for about a month now. I've already washed, clayed, !side Moldings, and just Tinted the windows 20% this past weekend. So here she is:










Don't mind the ride height. I'm currently parting out another car so i can get all my suspension done around the same time. Enjoy

Looks so much better with tint. I could make a huge list of appearance mods for you car but I'm sure you already have your own. At least cut down that giant antenna

oh yeah...the antenna is on top of the list as well as the tips. Actually the whole exhaust from the Intermediate pipe back needs to come down about 1/2 inch cuz it rests on the floor. I've already lined up the shop to fix it, just need to get over there.

SS spoiler, CME and hood is on for appearance mods as well retro-fit projectors for HIDs in the stock lights.

I've got a long list of mods i want to do, but time and money... That's all i need.

Awesome car! Congrats! What kind of mileage does it have? I just picked up my SS a month ago so I'm right there with you on the long list of wanted mods. Enjoy! Can't wait to see the progress.

HAHA...thanks for all the compliments guys. I've got plans for it but saving to get my suspension done first. It currently has some go fast goodies on it. It has:

Slp Lid w/ bottom of air box opened up
Dnyatech SS L/T headers w/hi-flow catted y-pipe
Choke master exhaust w/magnaflow tip that need to be corrected
BBk 80 MM T-body
160 degree T-Stat
Hurst shifter that is garbage

Suspension:
edelbrock torque arm that's it...lol

wheels
Chrome Zr1's 17x9.5/17x11 w/275 and 315 on the back end

Like i said more is to come within the following months. So, i'll post my progress,
