Okay guys, I've been holding out on you all a lot, unless you're friends with me on facebook lol.

I installed my STB with Don Rome Brackets



I then went to work on my new tail lights:

after:






Tinted Tail Lights Video

I then installed my foglights and new HID's. 10000k low beams and 8000k fog lights



I also got a new SS gauge cluster and put red LEDs in the Gauges and HVAC and Steering wheel buttons. The steering wheel buttons haven't been put in yet, but here are the Gauges and HVAC.

I also put a 16" resonator on my car to give it a little deeper tone.

Exhaust Clip

Lastly, the big one! I got my stock rims repainted and put on, I love how they look with my calipers.






The most recent thing that happened is a guy at work got oil based paint all over my car, it's all over the front bumper, hood and passenger side:



I have worked to get some off, it is starting to come along.



Sorry, all of these pictures are from my phone so some aren't the best, I will have a photoshoot after I get all my overspray off!

This weekend I am hoping to start working on my amp rack for my trunk, and also tomorrow is pay day so I would like to get a wheelskins steering wheel wrap.

I'm working on my dad's LS a little bit, but it won't be anything too radical. We added a pace car spoiler and he wants SS foglights next.
I wouldn't rule out an LS for myself as a daily driver in the future, maybe clone an SS without actually putting SS badges on it. The 3400 has enough power for daily driving and dad's car kicks my car's tail in the MPG department. LOL
