Talking A few Changes to the SS

So I had little painting done...











I have the original Bowtie Painted as you can see, but currently have a older Cav Blue Bowtie on the car, do you guys/gals think I should put the original back on? Here is a pic of the Cav Bowtie

I was happy I didn't get the blue inserts, I think this turned out well, and the pieces on the coffee table are for My JBL Amps going in the trunk. (Soon I hope)

The Pieces are all painted Laser Blue, my factory color. I'm happy. Now on to more go fast and be loud stuff...

I like the bowtie but not the inteior pieces, problem being the radio messes up the look. with an aftermarket head unit in blue or black would look good. IMO.

I will be putting a Pioneer AVIC Z1 in there in about 6 months, so that should even it out...I may have to find a black HAVC controls if it's not quite right....But I think it will work out well. Thanks for the coments.

Everything looks great, but I'm not sure if I would have done the bowtie b/c I like the contrast between the bowtie and the body color, but the paint job is excellent. I wish you were around when I was painting mine!

Ah, I footed the bill for paint at the chevy dealer, they scratched my door doing some brake work and were going to repaint my door, so i added a few pieces and a a hundred bucks, But I think it was well worth it, next on the list is to get my sub enclosure made and then painted to match as well. (it's going to be a single slot ported fiberglass enclosure for a 12" RF sub. It's going to fit where the stock sub is and run the port back to the wheel well near the back seat.

there just held in with clips, there really tought o pop but just small metal clips. I had to pull the bottom panel on the drivers side to get both pieces off, but the passenger side I opened the glove box and pulled the piece off.
