I bought this car in Mount Airy, Maryland. i paid $4500 cash for it. it has a small wreck in the left fender but the guy gave me a brand new fender that i need painted and installed. The engine is BRAND NEW, my car is a 99 and the motor is an 01. The total miles on the car is 97xxx but on the new motor is about 3,100 miles. BRAND NEW MOTOR.

If it were my car..

find some new wheels in chrome.
VFN WS9 outlaw hood
SLP lid
Kook LT's
DMH 3" cutout
and stock catback with some corsa clone tips on it. (sleeper sound than hit the switch for hell )

and some 15% window tint all the way around. maybe some strano springs to top it all off.

I think if I were you, I'd start with a lid, K&N, and exhaust (LT's would be my suggestion) - you'll open it up, notice a nice pick up in power and love the sound.

If this was my car I would do the following:

WS6 hood
Clear side markers
TT2's with 11's in the rear
CETA mod in black
Lid/filter
LS6 intake
ARH longtubes
Catted y-pipe
GMMG
TUNE
Strano springs

That's just me...

That color is ridiculous! :O

Full intake, full exhaust, CETA mod, Suncoast Raptor hood, some nice staggered wheels and you'll be set!

TT2s are the coolest wheels ever to fit a 4th gen! I only say that becase I have a set

Try a search in the wheels & tires section, you'll find tons of pics, probably none on your color car though. I think those wheels are always an excellet choice.

Personally, I'm not a fan of any body or lens modifications (except maybe a hood, but if you do that the only one that looks good would be a stock/stock style WS6 hood).

Everone wants a ws6 hood, but im really liking this new shaker system that 6 liter eater designed. Im hoping to see it on a few more cars. So just something you might wanna check out- a functional shaker on your ls1 and it looks sweet coming thru the hood. This route you dont need a ws6 hood.

I think it looks fantastic on that car.

They are a modern size version of a very old style wheel. With the vintage stepped lip rim and classic 5-spoke deep dish design, I guess they probably don't appeal much to people who like a more modern look. But as you can see by my sig, I like old stuff. I won't even part with the 15" Cragar SSs on my Nova.

Style is subjective. That's why they make soooooooo many wheels.
