Default 93-97 Appearance mods

So I've always been into the stock appearance but after going through the motor suspension etc I felt I wanted to change things up a little. This has been a back burner project to the go fast and handling mods over the years. I've owned the car since 03
Apearance mods changed:
The hood is a cheap ebay 98-02 style SS scoop for 93-02
The Bumper is 6LE designs Supercar / "Dick Harrell style"
Custom gauge face from 6LE with 200mph speedometer and C6 font.
Brushed black aluminum Burger panel
Stainless panel letters

The appearance mod closest to the edge are the tail lights. Let me know what you think. I have them rewired so they are plug an play with bulb socket pigtails wired into the tail lights for a 15 minute swap out back to stock LT1 tails.

Eventually I want to get another set of LT1 tails and make my own custom LED panels for them. There is a dude on youtube that made a badass set of lt1 lights controlled by arduino. But this is the next best thing for me. I got them on ebay for $40 and wired the turn signals to light up the whole panel. I also sprayed them with red VHT Night shade to make them more factory looking and less rice. (people looking to do full LED's There are 2 flashers that need to be changed)

Which tips are you running on your GMMG? I'm thinking about taking my GMMG off my 99 and throwing it on the SS. I hate the standard GMMG tips though.

looks good! I have to say I don't mind those tail lights too much, the red night shade definitely helps out. what did they look like when you got them?

also really digging the gauge cluster, I may have to snag one of those too

Those bumper shots look great, I like the wheels and the SS hood on hokeplaya05's car. I was thinking about getting those same tips as 2JAWZ. Ive run them on some other cars as well They are sweet and I think they are like $70ish? for the pair also if I remember correctly. Def under $100 and stainless too. But the ones I was using were 2.5" to dual 3.5" I believe from Yonka or something The tails looked like this b4:

Looks good, tail lights aren't too bad either. Needs an SS spoiler! What is that sticking out your front bumper in the opening though?

You guys are making me want to get new wheels lol, Ive got another set of 17x11 zr1's, but I after seeing your guys wheels on LT cars I kinda want to do something else. I still want to go wide on all 4 corners tho. I like to drive like im on my street bike
