Looks damn good. Nice choice of rims. The export lights definately caught my attention because I didnt read your post right away, I clicked directly on the pic link. I'm sure youve heard this plenty of times, but I'll say it again...must be nice!

European lights look the same as ours, but they put rectangle reflectors in the bumper too. Looks kinda weird. The lenses I have were Japanese spec, they quit making them when the LT1s ended.

Alex, I put the Corvette calipers on because I had an extra pair in my garage. They are slightly better than f-body calipers. Pressure cast instead of gravity cast. This makes them a little harder/stiffer than f-body calipers, plus they have bigger cooling fins on the backside.

Future plans for the car include a Center-Mount SS exhaust (already have, needs paint), as well as a custom painted SLP SS grille, and orange painted mirrors.

Mike: My Dodge is stock! I'd rather make cars go fast than worry about making the redneck limo fast. haha

I will paint your Center-Mount for a LS1Tech sticker plus you shake the cans.

Everything looks great!

I like those calipers!!
What does it all entail for getting those on? any special brackets or anything? Any customizing?

Tony -- looks awesome! We put those same BFG tires on the SS, and I have to say that in the rain they provide great control. They were definitely worth the money! Love your wheels, as well. Congrats on adding another great looking car to your fleet!
