Default Appearance Wishlists... Post'em up!

Alright, this maybe a dumb idea for a thread but f@wk it, I'm bored !!!

To participate in this thread post up a CURRENT (exterior/interior) picture of your car and then list what APPEARANCE (exterior/interior) mods you WILL DO TO IT (this is not a DREAM list, post only mods that your car truely has in it's future, not the place for, "I want to put Dick Harrel fenders on my car..." kind of BS...)!!!

I'll start her off... Here she is as she sits:



I plan to get the hood painted NBM and then have satin black side stripes with a black/chrome outlined "346" emblems on the side of the scoop:



Here's the slightly hazed headlights she has now and yellow-ish aftermarket fogs:



I plan to keep the fog housings but put true-white light Xenon bulbs in them and get projectors for the headlights like these (but have the LED's removed and smoothed, paint the inside a darker low-gloss black and make the Halos BLUE and only come on when the Nitrous is armed ) :





Here's the rear:



As soon as I find one I am putting a CME on the back like this one (custom exhaust like this one but not molded in CME valance, just regular valance):



Here's the interior as it is now:



The red switch under the shifter for the Nitrous is getting replaced with a WOT switch and the in-dash DVD player is coming out for a Double DIN and modified trim panel:





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)...

It is also getting charcoal leather door panels ouf of a 93-96 Camaro and all the matching interior panels (it is slightly darker than the grey in my 1998 but not ebony so that it doesn't look weird with a dark grey dash)...

Here's a night shot:



It already has white LED's and Blue LED lighting (HVAC as well, not seen in the above older picture) but the gauge cluster is getting altered to be brighter...

Here's the engine bay:



It still needs the wire mod done and some cleaning but it is pretty much as good as it is going to get...

I also plan to get some stainless steel brake lines, re-paint red and clear my calipers and install drilled and slotted rotors:



All of this I plan to have done before 2008... Then I will be done with my car's exterior and interior (except maintenance/repairs).

I have already finished suspension (Koni DA's all around, Eibach Springs, BMR Boxed SFC's + LCA's + Panhard rod, Strano 35mm Hollow Front Swaybay and 21mm Rear and 4pt Rollbar)...

...and will be finishing exhaust within two weeks (not including CME, I am cutting the flanges off of my ported MAC's to install higher flowing 3" V-Clamps and having a custom mandrel bent dual 3" into 4" y-pipe made to connect to my 4" Mufflex with Spintech muffler and dual 3" out)...

So then I will be able to move on to more performance mods (right now I have the exhaust, nitrous and SLP lid, bellow, ported TB and LS6 intake... I'll be adding tranny, converter, cam and gears... MAYBE heads)

Who's next? Don't forget to post pics of the future mods as well when you can because...

hey demonbird... just my 2 cents... but i think you should keep those fogs the way they are... i think thats really original the way you did that and it almost makes it look a little nastalgic like the old 69 SS front facia with the yellow fogs in it... if you know wha ti mean... i think it looks mean like that... but like i said its just my 2 cents... i like subtle reminders of where these cars actually came from on cars like im putting a '79 bird on the back of my instead of the gay lt1 style birds that looks stupid... just an idea buddy... car is awsome... i dont htink you have to much more to do on that.... awsome car...

Car as it sits on the exterior It is a pearl blue/black that I dislike


This is the interior as of now The red isn't staying demonbird as you stated you disliked it in another thread, so save your energy from typing that




Exterior Plans
-Well since I have 2 C5 Z06 rims in black from my wrecked LT1 I'm just gonna save money and buy two more and throw those on my ride. I may paint the silver lip black because I dislike it.
-Getting a set of black ZR-1s 17x9.5 and 17x11 for autoXing and throwing BFGoodrich g-Force R1s on there.
-VFN WS9 Outlaw Hood
-HID Foglights
-E46 Projectors in headlights
-Painting it. Either Nassau Blue or a Lambo color Viola Ophelia a.k.a. The color of Bam's Lambo.
-Complete Ceta Mod-Rear Valence and B-pillar
-WS9 Emblem

Interior Plans
-Double Din in-dahs DVD Head Unit
-White LEDs in map and dome lights
-Matching exterior color LEDs in the door lights
-Camaro Gauge cluster with matching exterior LEDs.
-Replacing the Mats, shift boot, and e-brake boots to match the exterior color.
-Getting the seats re-upholstered with better leather. Black with inserts matching the exterior color and stitching to match also.
-Door inserts to match exterior color with a pattern to match the seat inserts.
-Upgrade speakers, maybe do a stealth box.
-If I feel like risking it I'm going to use all this carbon fiber i have laying around and attempt to wrap some of the interior pieces in it.
-Oh yea I'm gonna put my sirius sat radio back in the center console and try to find a place for my MSD Dashawk...maybe the center console storage area.

Plan to do this within the next 6 months.

good idea DEMONBIRD!

My post is going to be slightly different if you don't mind...

Here's my car as it sits now:



Here's what it will look like within the next 2 months:


(I'm pretty sure I found this picture on tech, not sure of owner, I save so many sick looking cars...sorry)


(this is my best friends car)

Basically, I am going to be getting a WS.6 within the next few weeks, preferably NBM, but white and black are the other two options. I've already got a buyer for my car. I will be selling it bone stock. I will be keeping my suspenion and wheels and anyother bolt on part that will fit on my new car.

I'm so ready to upgrade. Hope I didn't overstep your rules DEMONBIRD, just figured I'd post up too since I'm looking forward to the change.
