Default Hello from Louisiana

Hey everyone, I just picked my first ls1 car yesterday and finally decided to join after months of lurking. It's a black 2002 Z28 without a single mod (but that's going to change real soon). Here a pic.


New headlights soon to come lol

Haha thanks for the advice, I'm doing all of it already but to the extreme. I've got my drive way lit up like a christmas tree at night, I pull my truck in behind it before I go to sleep, I double check that it's locked at least 5 times a night and I'm getting a viper alarm put in tomorrow... But it's not that bad down here, I'm just paranoid.
