I wouldn't do anything other than tint man. I like the yellow corners. I have yellow corners still because I like mine.

Quazar Blue T/A's are rare as hell, and yours look gorgeous as is. I would not do a thing to the exterior. Both the LT1 and LS1 WS.6 cars look so good, the only exterior mod outside of wheels Ive ever liked on them is the satin black rear bumper valance.

yea im still kicking some ideas around, pretty much talked myself out of the splitters but the diffuser is still a maybe... might just cover mine in that 3m dry noc stuff... i just think the carbon fiber would tie the rear end together nice. Ambers are deffinatly staying, i just dont care for the clears. Tint for sure, just one of those things i keep putting off. As far as interior i already have 6le seats, overlays, and some other good stuff... My nav systems getting replaced with a newer model. I have a friend whos dose uphostrly, shes going to be wraping the seats in black vinyl with grey alacantra inserts... doing an alacantra wrap on the console and shift boot as well... new carpet, vinyl wraping all the panels... should be intresting to see how it all goes together

Clean LT, man! And I like splitters and rear diffuser on Pontiacs, but that's me. They aren't for everyone.... but I'm not a fan of the side splitters.



Blue Steel, I couldn't help myself, lol

DO:
  • Clear corners w/amber or switchback LEDs
  • Rear diffuser (6LE or custom)
  • 10lbs+ of boost

DO NOT DO:
  • front splitter
  • side splitters

This is my opinion. Car looks pretty good as-is.

It seems like you set your motor up for boost. A procharger would be a nice addition!!

What is it doing as far as no start? I used to be an LT1 no start guru, lol...

As for the no start issue, were pretty sure its VATs related.... working on it, just waiting for the bypass module to get here. Still have a blown trans (thanks monster, it was a great 650 mile break in period!!). Sadly the motor only put down 328rwhp... Jeremy at fasterproms told me there was quite a bit holding it back though (stock maf, wrong plugs, humitiy, gearing, the fact it kept breaking up on the dyno because it just wanted to be a pain that day). I dont fault anyone but the car and my unpreparedness. Next summer should hopefully be more promissing. I cant say anything bad about the way it ran for the one day I got to enjoy it after the tune before the trans messed up. It was on fire, gobs of low end torque. Now its just keeping my motivation up to try to fix her for next season.

As for the tint the only reason i never have is inherrent lazyness... ive scheduled to have it done like 5 times and always end up canceling because i find something better to do that day lol
