LT1

Get it painted like that white and black one in the picture, looks badass and different from just having an all white hood.

I like to be different somewhat but you can't honestly put the ls1 hood on an your sweet lt1 and not have it look out of place. After just viewing your ceta and black canopy it would be a shame to introduce the ls1 to your car.

Good call man, an 300hp plenty for a 16 year old, if I had this car then, I'd be dead. And that was only 4 years ago. If I were you man, LT1 WS6 hood, no stripes though (the CETA sail panel and rear bumper look great, more black would be too much), a lil drop and some widened 96-00 WS6 wheels would make your car look absolutely amazing. There is a guy here with a 97 WS6 with his wheels widened and re-polished and it looks so awesome.

lt1....wish i was satisfied with the speed like you are. and btw throw some black rims on there. maybe the AR Rebels would look sweet...that or the crazy spider webbed looking spoked rims alot of people put on T/A's...but in black. that would look sick.

CCW's? Those things are crazy expensive, but your right, they look amazing, theres a silver ws6 with them on the forums. My car used to feel fast, but not really anymore, but I know its pretty fast, no screamer, but deffinatly a high 13 second car, thats cool with me for now. The only proformance mods Im gonna do untill im completely done with the rest of the car, are gonna be things like a complete MSD opti, new wires/plugs, new injectors, new cai, and maybe a set of LT's and a catted y pipe..

i think AR makes a similar set of rims that look like that, being from AR they shouldnt' be too expensive?

Spuds, before you do anything else appearence wise, I'd change out the LT1 tail lights to the LS1 style. I think they look 100x better.

Don't do that, keep the stock before you do that.... Blacked out and VHT is SO 1990's!!!!

They look good as is, leave it alone or go LS1...

Here's the difference between clear LT1 and LS1 (it was Brent's car, I bought it and changed it):





I also changed the rims and got a set of stock foglights (the one's it had on it had like a blue housing) for it:

Im going with blacked out tails man, get over it, I think they look good, as do a number of others, probably the majority. If I had to keep stock tails I'd keep stock lt1 tails. Don't post up a picture of unsealed shitty looking tails to try and say that ones in good condition don't look good...

Hey attitude boy, I SAID LT1's look good AS IS, never said they didn't look good... They just look CHEAP with black outs (which warp the lens anyways) and OUTDATED...

The pics I showed were SEALED PERFECTLY, they just look like **** because they had the clear tail light mod done to them that YOU MENTIONED DOING...

Actually, they are all removed but the red from the bulbs is reflecting in that shot...
