JohnKB8's 05 S.O.M. SS/SC PICS!(lil mods) Featured car....!

Well here it so far after 3 months of owning my SS and 4,700 miles later...

I have done Black Headlight Housings w/ Silverstars, GM brushed-aluminum pedals, Took of all emblems on truck, Carbon Fiber front bowtie, and a Cobalt SS plate on back. Next is K&N intake whenever is comes out (have intstalled now!!)... and I have did a whole Klasse treatment on paint, look great in person, like a mirror! and very smooth! Might of forgot other lil stuff I have done but on to the pics... hope u like them



























last pic is a crazy fish eye photoshop, i think is looks cool. More pics in My Gallery, these are just recent ones. when i get time pics in open field with all sun out will come

Featured Car yet.....

Where did u get the headlights from? It looks so good, I wouldn't be suprised if GM makes these standard on future SS models.

debadging is not so bad, just getting the glue off takes some time, but was all done in like 20 min or half hour i think, and yes i did the black headlights myself

That SS was a pre-make. So of course they had everything in them, including what looks like heated seats.

Hey John sweet SS! You mean you did the headlamps all by yourself! Thats crazy, you did a really good job. But anyway, we need to get some more pics done with the BOM-S and the SOM-SS. SO we can post them up. Oh yeah how was the bar last night?!
