i like it .. i would just remove the body kit

and i think the plate mod will look good on the left side and it would look even nicer if you made a little pushed in area for it to sit in .. like how the stock one is .. just all the way on the left side

i like everything except the euro tails (but I see you got smoked stock ones) and the license plate thing. Original and will be nice when done. What color are you going with?

don't forget to get the tranny to go with that LS1, and everything else. It may be cheaper just to buy an LS1. Anyway, if you want to make that thing fast then you better raise it back up and get smaller wheels. There is no way long tubes are going to fit under there.

Honestly I don't like it at all. If you want it to be slammed then keep it a V6. It just looks F'n ghetto.

its ok, i guess
if it was mine, I'd ditch the groundFX, halo's, and minitrucker rims for something more "muscle-car-ish"..........would look pretty badass then, with the narrowed rear and deep *** backspacing
there was a Black LT1 body TA on here a few years ago, that had a narrowed rear and was mini-tubbed. It had a 2" or maybe slightly lower drop, and some 17's, looked completely awesome. Probably the best lookin Fbody ever on this site

Obiviously you haven't been around some "Vatos" and their lowriders. Which is basically what that is minus the picture of the virgin mary sprayed on your hood, some dice and your name in old english letters on the back windshield.

All joking aside, being in Texas that type of "style" is very popular across the border states. Alot of times you see them even without wanting to. I have seen many car and trucks like the ones you have posted on your page. Pretty much all are LoLo's and have alot of money (drug money of course) put into them. When you see the people who own these cars and those who like to see them, hang around with them..whatever.....they are all very mucho ghetto....hence my comment.
