Looks pretty good so far man! Base model myself as well, check out my build thread if you get a chance! Great to see you're boosting it.

Grille looks good up close, but almost looks like it's not there in the distance pics.

Does the Impala 3rd brake light just pop in? Might be a nice idea for my car.

And above all...Lower it

You take the led bar out of the impala brake light and secure it in yours after you take the bulbs out. I used zip ties but some people used double sided tape etc. there's a write up somewhere.

I'm probably not gonna lower it anymore yet cause the roads are so bad where I go to school that I scrape my front bumper at least twice a day lol

Edit: I'd also recommend a junk yard for the led bar. It cost me $12 instead of ordering a whole brake light off eBay

Nice! Any particular year for the Impala? There's a ton at the local yard I'll have to check out.

Sorry there's no music I just threw it together real quick it was a fun day

I got my new interceptor installed last night. I was also out taking pictures for my photography class earlier and shot some of the car while I had the camera out.

I did this quick really shitty photoshop of some lm reps. Do you guys have any opinion on color? I think the silver is cleaner, but the gold is different

Eh I'm still feeling the silver but we'll see. I won't be buying until the summer. I already moved my interceptor cause I didn't like the shitty gauge pod
