Yes, so I already did a few thing and on Tuesday I will of had the car for only 2 weeks....gosh thats terrible.
So far I shaved some of the badging off (the big Chevy symbol on the back and the 2 GM ones on the fenders...the rest will be coming off later ... except the SS ones on the doors, but all of the SC ones will be coming off), painted the calipers red, painted the IDI (is that really what its called...its the similar thing to what I painted in my Cavalier) cover metal cast red, and painted my headlights black.
When I painted my headlights last night, we used a hair dryer....the over thing kind of scared us. But the hair dryer got so hot that it kind of disformed the orange reflector in the housing...so we had to try and remold it back into shape....looks fine now.
Sorry, my car is super dirty. I would wash it...but the are calling for more rain again.
Headlights
Calipers
Chevy symbol gone
Painted IDI cover
Coming, hopefully Tuesday, eyelids. Similar to sgt2cobalt's eyelids...just bigger.

Thanks. I'm itching to do tint...but my husband and I are going to be doing our tint around the same time on both of our cars, and we are going to wait until its a bit warmer so it sets up better with the heat. But Tuesday we are heading over and hopefully getting the eyelids done.

Looks nice. Is that the stripe kit that has been 4 sale on e-bay?
BTW -- Katie = Psykostevo. This isn't the same Katie that ragged on the SS/SC in a previous "test drive" thread is it?

The balt with the stripes isn't my car, I just posted the pictures to show the style of eyelids I plan to do.
katie and psykostevo were 2 different people in that thread. But yes this is katie who can ragged on in the test drive thread.
