Great looking car man! Putting a stall in it and some gears would definately be a good start as far as modding is concerned! It feels like a totally different car once you do those simple mods! Also, a full exhaust does make it sound a whole lot better!

wow guys, thanks for all the comments and suggestions, I'll definitely be saving up for all that was mentioned. Yes I did buy it off Autotrader in NC, some one asked about that. It was only on Autotrader probably 10 days before I bought it, so good eye! I'm not sure what gears are in it, probably 3.23s, I'll find out what it has when I get it from the dealer. I would like to get an ORY, but here where I live we have to pass emissions, boo on that I got a question too about the stall.. stall=torque converter correct?

hey guys I was thinking for the exhaust to get ARH 1 3/4 stainless steel headers coupled with their Y-pipe, flowing back to a Corsa Twin Pro series 3.5 tips.. what do yall think? (Money is no big deal, I can save pretty good)

Thanks for all the input already guys, I appreciate it!! I was surprised how fast I got replies already lol
The guy could of just bought CME from SLP and put it on himself. That's what I did, and so did alot of other people. If that's a picture of the car your getting then I'm pretty sure it does. Looks like it has the valence on it!

Wow I'm late to the party lol. Big congrats on getting what you wanted. To answer your questions, your car did come stock with 3.23s and stall is torque converter. Everyone has great suggestions on first mods but before you do the converter, try to ride in a car and maybe even drive it to make sure you'll like it before you spend the money on it since it will be your daily driver. Some people are iffy about converters. Also do some research on the different brands-most popular seem to be Yank and Vigilante-and what size would best fit your application or future mods. The more info you can get the better. Everyone on here will be more than happy to help you out. Good luck with the modding, it's VERY addictive! Andy, you seem to be everywhere these days, lol. You should put white GS stripes on your car and be my Frossty's evil twin lol.

I've already got all sorts of mods planned lol, just don't know how long it will take to do em all! But I will absolutely do my research 1st and foremost! How is everything between u and Frossty going??

hey guys just wanted to give an update.. Got my LS1 Motorsports Whisper lid yesterday, Chrome fill ins for the back, and still waiting on my clear corners.. I installed the whisper lid today very easily, not fitment problems what so ever, and will do the chrome letters this weekend. Not sure what next to-do will be, most likely stereo when I get my tax returns back
