Also, he had to cash out for those emblems. You can't find them, they're rare and only came in the intimidator trucks.
Yeah he spent alot of cash for the emblems $59 on ebay LINK:Chevy Intimidator SS Emblems Set of Domed Silver for Silverado Trucks Cars | eBay

Good find Jerry, new listing.

Maybe different seller but anywho, I looked last year and cheapest was probably $300 for all
three.

*edit* it's the same seller, just newer price. He was selling them at $300 for the set before.

Not a fan, reminds me of owners who put those cheap ebay Pace Car style decals on their Monte. Doesn't look right and never will.

Besides the 01, like PacerSS, which actually has a cool interior all others are just decals/badges and some have replica signatures in them. Don't see why bash this 7th gen.


Seen worst, today I stopped by my sons pediatrician office to get a copy of his immunizations, and there was an 00-05 black SS. It was horrible, not even a limited edition, with Earnhartd stickers, and number on the pillars. AWFUL!

This on the other hand is not bad.

Because in my opinion, especially considering they didn't even offer a 7th gen Intimidator to my recollection, it would be like someone who owns lets say a stock Mustang GT from say 2002, and slapping a Shelby AC 427 Cobra badge on the side of it. Everyone knows that's not a real AC Cobra, why do that? Or those retarded Eclipse owners that put "Spyder" badges on their hardtop Eclipses. Anybody with .02 worth of car knowledge knows you're an imposter. I mean it's one thing to go all out and make a replica, i.e.; '69 COPO Camaro or a Yenko S/C, or a Hurst edition 442, etc. and buy all the badging, all the interior parts, and match the engine/wheels/suspension/options that were on the car. But to just slap badges on something that it most definitely is not is an automotive disgrace in my opinion, and honestly I think does an injustice to those of whom actually own those special edition cars that take the time/effort/money to upkeep/pay/take care for them originally.

In addition to the points Pacer made (which I agree with). I object to the seller advertising it as an Intimidator edition. False advertising! Plain and simple.
