Appearance mods I'd like to do:
-Mike
- Get the car re-painted. There are lots of little rock chips, the nose is all scratched to hell, and a couple spots where there are chips in the back.
- New hood and spoiler. SS spoiler. Haven't decided on hood yet.
- Get the roof replaced. I have really bad roof bubbles, but couldn't find a dealership that would work with me on the TSB. Now I'm over 100,000 miles.
- Grille. Probably a black billet grille.
- New rims. Undecided which ones. I like the looks of my current rims, but they're really heavy. Losing 13rwhp going from stock 16x8 to 17x11 was an eye-opener. I may keep the rear rims and get drag radials mounted on them.
- Seats. I've seen Demonbird's Mad seats and they make me jealous. I'd love to have something more comfortable.
- Carpet. Pull the ebony, replace with black.
- Door panels. Pull the ebony, replace with black leather.
- Back seat. Pull and replace with black leather.
-Mike

Eh, I'll join, what the heck.
Exterior as it sits:
Only plans for the exterior are different wheels, dream wheels are iForged Aeros but I may have to just go with CCWs, and a smoothed rear tail panel painted red.
Under the hood looks like this:
Except with these:
and polished battery and fuse box covers. Plans under the hood include a lot more polished items and red powdercoated MAF and TB
These are just my appearance mods wishlist, my performance mods are just beginning

It is going to get Ebony front seat belts (already have the back) and the guides will either be permanently attached to the seat or to the rollbar, Ebony Carpet, Ebony SLP Performance floor mats, Eboy trim around the vents, gauge cluster and radio, Ebony center console with black leather for the console lid and MAYBE black leather boots for the shifter and e-brake...
The seats are getting dropped down with custom brackets (already done actually)...

Personally DirtyBird222, I think the red in the interior looks really nice, the stick, the brake, the mats, etc. It looks nice, personally I wouldn't change it, but to each his own.
I would post my own car, but Friday, April 20th, 2007, some lady decided she wasn't going to pay attention while I was out, and smashed into the front end of my baby. Luckily, she had insurance, admitted to causing the accident, and the car is repairable even though it is really really bad. On top of that I had just spent half of Thursday detailing the inside and outside of the car.
Fortunately, my dad knows someone who specializes in restoring LS1's.
Once I get her back in about a month, all fixed up, I will post pictures of her and a list of what I want to do.
