LawmanSS - I just made a grille black, but can be easily converted back to polished . It looks good still... but I don't know what I like better! I'll take a picture of it soon.

phantomzer0 - Ya I didn't make it out either. Somehow I ran into 2 decently cute girls at 3am that were apparently ditched and from WI! lol. So I let them chill with me till someone came to pick them up (2hrs later!). Oh and yes that rain was crazy.

I decided to do my ls1 brake conversion instead today. I finished in just shy of 6 hours. I seriously messed up my ball joints, and that was the majority of the swap time. They came out nice though. Pics soon to follow.

I heard a guy got arrested today at speedinc and a few people got tickets. Gay.

I like it the other way a bit better. Only because your car is very, for lack of better words, shiny. Everything is stainless or chrome.

Either way your car is ****, but I like the polished grill better.

Thanks for the opinions . One thing I did notice is that if I decided to keep the grille black then I would have to re-do the headlights black, evening those out.
