I think it looks good. Certainly looks better than my non-shiney original.

Looks good, definitely prefer it to the original.

My only gripe about those or alteast mine, you can see the LED board if and wires if you are looking down at the top of the spoiler. other than that it looks really good. Wish we had a tail light option just to be different.

It has been a little while since I have posted anything. Really all I have been doing is enjoying my car and doing a lot of cruising in it. I have done a few mods though. First I did a new clutch install. I went with the Monster LT1-S and so far I am loving the clutch pedal feel. I haven't got out and put it to it's test yet but it won't be to much longer. Then I did a Spal fan upgrade to help with the cooling. I am way happier with the temps now. I just bought the newest DR from Nitto. It is the Nitto555R2, I don't have them yet but I am hoping to get them on next week. For the front I am going with the Nitto 555G2.

Let me know how you like both - My 555 G2's are going on the stock rims on 5/22, until I get my new wheels later on (car has been sitting for 4 years).

BTW, nice ride...i'm also a SOM owner.

I hadn't realized how long it has been since I have been on here. Really haven't done anything to WS6 #3392 other than basic maintenance. I have been driving it a lot which is a good thing. Drove it to work today as a matter of fact,man what a blast! As far as the tires I am happy with them, no complaints what so ever. I still have more stuff to do to my ride, just in the middle of building a house and saving money for my daughters wedding. Hopefully I will add some more pictures here soon.

Thank you! Since I posted last in this thread, i've been driving her on the weekends, mostly out on open highway and some backroads. Love these tires. I also added the smoked LED tail light you have, as well as all smoked lenses, and an LED conversion inside/outside. Going to focus on the suspension next and wheels.

I have done some of the LED lighting but not all yet. What I have done looks really nice. Do you have an IG account?

I also added LED fogs in the original OEM housings, which will does the job. For now. Blackbird Lighting is the conversion I need to do to the headlights as well.

I do not have an IG account, no.

I haven't done anything really new in a while now. But what I am posting about is I am over 2 years on this build and have had zero problems so far making 645hp, 507tq. I play hard with it, go to the track and race, play on the street. Still is a stock bottom end LS1 that came with it in 2002. I am very happy with it, and once we get moved into our new house the end of this week more mods will come.

Well I am finally getting back to modding my WS6. I am going to be getting BMR LCA's, Torque Arm, and Sam Strano sway bars finally. Our new house is built and we have moved in, so now I can get back to business. The WS6 has it's own garage now also which is nice. Picture isn't the best but I do like the Procharger sign in the back.

Finally got more than one day off. So this weekend I was able to go out with my car club All American Camaro and Firebird and do a little cruising. We went to the Corvette museum, then to NCM motorsports Park. Had a great day!

I was able to get out and get some quality pictures of the WS6 yesterday. Here are three but more to come. I am very happy with how they came out. Some of the pics it doesn't look like a SOM.

Thank you very much! I am in the hunt for either FM5's or Weld S71. Hopefully get some here before to long. Do you have any pics of your new ride?

Welcome......I'm usually not a fan when it comes to mods, but my least favorite thing with these cars are the stock wheels, so I'm looking at the weld S77.

Well I have started the last part of my suspension work I need to do. Installing BMR LCA's, Torque Arm, and Sam Strano sway bars. Looking forward to getting it finished and back out on the street.
