Default 01 SS my first Mods :)

Installed my pro 5.0 shifter with SLP lid and slp skip shift eliminator. The shifter is a huge difference I love it everyone with a m6 needs to get one of these. I used the pro 5.0 stick and cut half the threads off with a hack saw it works great that was just the height I wanted. I seen alot of the pro 5.0's with a lou's short stick and its just too short for me. First pic is a tad dark ill get a better 1 ltr.

Yeh it was pretty well maintained but of course not up to my standards haha. I sprayed the engine all down and got that all clean and I just keep things a lil cleaner. But it has not been in snow and look like rarely in the rain.

I use the factory jack to get the body high enough to get the floor jack underneath, then jack it from there.

Nice ride man. I love these cars.

Nice ride! I think with some black halo's, smoke corners, and a SLP grill and you'll be set. Here's mine at night but on red.
