Our cars aren't identical anymore! My SS emblem came off a 72 Chevelle. Enjoy!




New look

Here is my SS the day I got it:




Then I added Camaro Inserts from Sub Thump (They sucked so I took them off soon after):



Soon after that was Muffinbuster Stainless Inserts, LoudMouth1 and Z06 Painted Wheels:





Next Up was the removal of the Bra, a Stainless Grill, SLP Banner and Clear Corners:





Then I did CME, an 02 SS Spoiler, and MuffinBuster Stainless SS Badges:



Next was Chrome ZR1's:



Those didn't stay too long. MY last change to the wheels is TTII's, and an LS1 Brake Conversion. This is how the car sits now:







I did some bolt-on's here and there, and upgraded the stereo quite a bit. The car has come a hell of a long way. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

I'll have to do the Firebird now

Still needs a grill, springs, tint, hood, and eventually different wheels.

LOL! the emblems are identicle, but i see you painted your grill blk. The SS might look good in SOM. It trips me out when i see your car. on the first pic i thought it was mine. I was like "WTF where did I take that pic?"lol!

First bought the car when I was 18. Was stone stock.

Now, Im 19, and the car has a cam swap, headers, a3 swap being done, 4.10s, and some other crap.
