Car looks great. If you were to do anything I woudl tint the windows darker, remove side molding, maybe shorty anntenna. Nothing else

White whistler looks reaaaalll clean, nice job

I'd get some new clears. I had the same ones (see sig) and they just look cheap. I switched them in favor of these:



Just need chrome plated bulbs to complete the look

Tint the windows, peel the molding off and you're golden! Nothing better than a clean white SS IMO.

that definitely needs a black manta stripe and the solid strip for the rear hatch. Would look badass!

Keep it clean, and remember, just because it fits does not mean it looks good.

yeah the car came with the ram air stickers, they will be coming off when i get the manta stipes put on. I plan on doing the side molding when I get the stripes on. And the tint, well thats as dark as your "supposed" to be here in arizona, some cops can be ****** about it. And f50nut, you have a link to where you got yours?

Keep it clean, the manta stripe clutters the white cars..IMO. I would lower it a little and get some 11" wheels and 315s for the rear. The ram air stickers would definately have to go also...

If your looking for ideas, here is my old 01 SS..

Agreed on all points other than lowering (low enough. love the stance). !Molding. Don't do mana stripe. Just get 11" matching wheels if you feel the need. If your itching to do stuff to that car, do performance mods, not appearance. Looks great as-is!

Well its already lowered and I scrap on every speed bump known to man lol ( true duals will do that ) Only othe rmod I plan on doing to the car is a LS6 intake with a cam. All my suspension is done, exhaust is done, rear end is done. Just need a little better air in and power. Wheels are a idea, however I have the set on the car now and a set of gunmetal 10 spokes in my house lol so i dont think il buy anymroe wheels, but thanks for the idea. The Manta stripes seem to be either love or hate. I need to see one in person honestly to decide, but they look good on the cars i have seen in photos.
