Future subtle mods?

Ok, so low desposible income and a boring Friday night makes for amateur photoshop fun. I have a victory red SS/TC sedan, and in a world where I could spend money on my car just for fun, I'd love to drop it an inch or so and get a wingless decklid. Since these are a non reality at this point, i just did it to a popular pic of the Sedan SS/TC. What do you think?





PS- I always thought moving the SS emblem to the front fenders similar to a 60's camaro SS could look cool. Upon photoshopping it, I no longer think that's a good idea.

the moto has always been if you dont do it right the first time, dont do it at all.

if you take the decklid off, what are you going to do to replace it? you need to repaint the trunk and thats not cheap, and its gay if you put plugs.

save up money to do the right mods, not a bunch of retarded ones.

Ya, if you're gonna do something, do it right the first time. I learned that lesson on my old balt' and on this one ive learned to do things the right way, even if that means I have to wait a little longer to do it.

Hmm I was also thining about going wingless...but not so sure now that I see that pic...the drop would be nice though however for me I cant do that because this town would destroy my front bumper.

So I'd say drop it and toss a coin on the spoiler delete.

Thanks for the feedback, just playing around more than anything else. I couldn't agree more about saving money and doing things right. If I couldn't get a wingless victory red decklid that matched (no fade, etc..) then i probably wouldn't do it. I just had a hell of a time trying to get an insurance company to repaint my rear bumper fascia the correct color (took them 3 tries...).

I still prefer the wingless look, even on a sedan, but probably not unless the backend was dropped to be evenish with the front.

That is the story of my life my old 2.2 was fast as **** but i broke everything to the point it just crapped out. Don't turbo a 2.2 with out smart friends and do everything right dont go cheapo.

btw i had plugs cause the guy backed out of my trade. dont do plugs lol looks very well like your broke and stole the car and tried to make it look like your own by removing the spoiler

yeah, no offense to fellas with plugs, but that is not my idea of a visual improvement. My dad had a Yamaha Warrior a few years back and he took the sissy bar of the back and plugged it. I wasn't a fan. I'd leave the spoiler on before I chose plugs.

Again, my chances of having "spending money" to do anything to this are slim at the moment. I did just get some used rims and new snow tires though!

No, it's an led bulb with both white and amber lights on it. If you decide to get them, make sure you get resistors so they don't blink fast. I have them too and they kick ass. oh and also, Cptn your link doesn't work.

heres a link to a video of mine

haha I have none, the car came with no front liscense plate, so I put a hide away plate on the car. There are 2 holes drilled in the bottom of the lip that hold it on.
I got my switchbacks here.

Son of a bitch I'm jealous of the no-hole fascia. I hate when dealers put stuff on performance cars. There's a dealer here in Columbus that puts their permanent stickers on brand new SS's!! I had to get my dealer to put the stock fuel door back on, it had the chrome optional one...but I did score the metal gas/clutch/brake pedal covers

Ok, hopefully last question. So the link was for bulbs, did you buy a whole new projection headlight kit and install these bulbs? I love the circular look inside.

no they fit in the stock headlights too! All cobalt headlights use the same turn signal bulbs
