Default Just some pics of my SS...

Just decided to snap some pics,nothing major...thought I would share and ask you guys if you think a Berger panel would go...I'm thinking yes,still would like to hear some opinions though...

Nothing extreme...Just some black halos,fill ins and black ZR1s...I know black ZR1s are kinda played out but...I like them.

Over all I think she is coming along fine,still got more to go.Haven't had time to put on the Borla catback (code for LAZY! ).

I like the Silver/Black combo...Needs tint.Would probably use stainless CAMARO letters with the Berger panel....

I need to work on my photography skills BIG TIME!!

After:






Oooooh.....special effect!!!!

Berger panel would look awesome! Also maybe a set black hockey stripes, manta stripe, and stull grill would be ****!

Nice car!

Holy Huggers Batman!Sweet 69'!!!!

I thought about the hockey stripes,also mantas,black 35th anniversary stripes,Grand sport stripes on the fender,the black out in front of the scoop (not all of these at the same time of course... )...I just don't want to "over do it"....

The most I can say that I do want to try is the Berger panel...Then go from there.

Thanks for the compliments guys...

I don't like the manta stripes myself, or the billet grilles on these cars if that's what you mean. Haven't seen many hockey stripes on the ls1's I like either. Just my opinion though. Anyway, looks great. I like the chrome wheels better for what it's worth. Also, that's a hot ride hugger!

They are black halos (you find more and better pics than mine with a search) off of eBay..They ran me about $100 but,they RAPE you on the shipping!$40!!!!

Sometimes a company will be on there selling them sometimes not...You just have to kee looking on there.Thanks for the ideas..

I like the chrome also,thats what made it a hard decision.I also was REALLY thinking about TT2s.I still am actually.

So I just went with something different for me...(All my cars have had stocker silver wheels except for my 30th Trans Am that had blue ones...of course )..

Well,I thought about lowering but decided against it because of two reasons...

1.I have one HELL of a steep incline to my driveway...I have to really angle it as is...Not to mention its just about the only thing holding me off on my header install...I don't think they will clear!!

2.No offense to anyone but, I have never really been into the look myself...Yes, I know...I am probably the only person on LS1 tech to have that opinion but...What can I say...I'm just not into it.Sometimes I think its because of where I live.(VERY high hispanic population with a STRONG lowrider following).When ever I have seen a lowered vehicle I always equate the look with lowriders.

Now if I had a set of FM 5's ,I just might reconsider lowering it for that
Ferrari-ish,super car-ish look those wheels give a car... Ahhh to dream heh?

Thanks for the comments guys!Really appreciate them good and bad!
