No problemo bro, it is your car! I wasn't calling you out at all, just pointing something out to the other poster.

I am glad though you did not immediately go to the old, well my Z28 is faster than your SS; that is usually the first response I would read...

Shoot, I know there are plenty of Z28's faster than our SS...

No problem Azreal, I always wanted a SS, but they were $32,400 new at the dealer in 2001. So I bought a Z28 cheap and got parts off wreaked SS's and the rest is history. I never took your comment as a bad thing. Sam

I thought the same thing! Now all I get is nice comments on my car. When I take it to the car wash, I hear other car owners talk about my car. They talk about buying it off me or the color, which they seem to really like. Here are some new pictures.

I like it! I would suggest taking off the side moulding and the red ss badges. They don't look like they belong there. I will be making my own Koni before and after thread soon because I'm finishing up my install tomorrow!!

Well, I guess everyone else is throwing some change in so here's my .02 cents.

1. Paint the mirrors
2. Change the red SS emblems to black & silver ones
3. Swap grill for an SLP SS grill w/black & silver emblem
4. All clear marker and corner lights
5. Polish your Halo's back out

Please don't take this as criticism, I think your car looks awesome the way it is! These are just changes I would make.

You forgot to mention the need for a CME!

Seriously though, F-bodies look great with 19's. I like mine, but love those TSW's. I might have to look into picking up a set once my old 17" cragar s/s' sell.
