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

^^^ Damn! What a change. Bet all that cost a nice pretty penny to do.
Old car
Old car totaled.

New mods..lid, ported tb, true duals, sfc, phb, new rotors, painted calipers, z06 wheels and tires.
No pics of engine bay as i'm not done with it. Have specialized stainless and polished some things too. Still waiting on MORE

Mine went from stock to everything in my sig in about 2 1/2 months. I'd say I was moving pretty quick. LOL Time to slow down a little now. Bolt-ons are easy to pick. Heads/cam/etc are a little more time involving.

Picture of it like it was bought(not my car but it looked identical to this when i bought it)
First round of mods...took off sidemoldings and trans am letters and replaced the wheels
with chrome OEM WS6 wheels
Next tinted windows 20% all around and 35% all the way down the front
Next I added a TNT F2 Kit/Mac Mids/Dynomax TD's/TCI 3500SSF Converter and a tune
Next I added some Polished Y2K wheels and Nightshaded my side markers
Last mod was a VFN Fiberglass WS6 hood
Painted wheels and 315's

pretty far.. here's some pics of it bone stock when i bought it in may of 04
here's a few pics of it from ~2005-2007 when it had the ZR1s but not the ram air... these were after the bumpers were resprayed.. they look a bit dull in the pics above
had a powdercoated black elbow for a short time (aug 07-march 08 when i got ram air)
and here's how it looks now after a full detail.. notice the color of the intake is now black..we did that while the intake manifold gasket was being changed...and actually as of yesterday the siren is no longer there as the alarm i had installed a few years ago started being a POS and since i only had one remote left for it and it was dying, and the car sits in the garage most of the time anyway, i decided to just ditch it
someone should do a video montage of these evolutions of our cars with matchbox 20's "how far we've come" LOL

Latest additions Here's what I've added since the last post.
Refinished the gauge surround, painted gauge bezel, painted vent buckets, began work on dash pad.
And did the wire mod on driver and passenger sides! This is just the beginning!
Hope you like! I've also got some bumper support pieces out for painting or powdercoating and the
piece that supports the intake lid for smoothing and painting.
