Default What next?

I ran out of suggestions... What should I do to the car next?

Graphics




Wheels


Interior






Any ideas? I was told that a popular Chevy magazine is thinking about doing a girl racing article/edition. I would like to get my car in there if possible. I just feel like the car is missing something...
Sorry, no pics under the hood... it is a bit messy under there

I normally remove the radar detector before I show the car. The reason I have it up so high is because I have to get it over the hood.

Maybe you can try polishing your headlights? Those look foggy/dull to me (maybe it's the pictures? idaknow :/ )

Brembo GT Brakes would be cool, but expensive. Maybe some cross drilled ones?

Powdercoated calipers?

Awesome car!

I thought about those but I wanted something that not everyone has. I want a wheel that is light but I want to stay with the 17 X 9.5's.

Diesel- The guages were done by Brian Grimal (BlackLS1Formula). He created them himself and to be honest, I am not exactly sure how he does it. I know most of the time he asks people to send him a stock overlay or give him their car and he will do it for them. If you want more information, you can send him an email at brian@grimal.com

I am going to either replace the headlights or clean them with rubbing compound.

No prob... Just tell him that Tiffany told you to ask. I am not sure if you wanted to do all the interior pieces the same way. If so, make sure you mention that you want to do the dash overlay and the AC control panel.
