Im hoping to pick up some halo headlights and going to do whistler mod to them if used, and change the leds to red.
Here is the car as it stands right now.

Nice looking SS man. i would go clear corners and leave the tail lights alone. I've never been a fan of the blacked out tail lights

I personally am not a fan of blacked out tail lights or clear corners. I did the whistler mod on my camaro that looked great. In retrospect, I should've just bought the black Halo's and kept my stockers in case I ever wanted to reverse the process.

My opinion for you is to tint your windows. Every car I've owned has had its windows tinted to some degree. I think it should be the first modification to any vehicle, stock or modified.

Another thing I like on black SS's is the stripe kit shown below on SSLS1's car:










Good luck
Andy

Black corners and black rear bumper lights with either the black halo's or whistler that you are planning to do.

My suggestions are to simply pick up some clear corners for the front, and ditch the gaudy red SS emblems for some stainless steel badges or for the stock silver badges. Other than that the car is great!

HEY!!!

Tint and lower springs. If you change the emblems from red than go clear corner. If you leave red emblems than I like the stock amber corners (I know I'm probably the only one though).

But definitely tint and lowering will improve the looks greatly I think.
