Sounds good. But not until I get my SS/SC rims re-powdercoated. They messed up the set and made them a flat gray instead of the bronze that I wanted. I have a Nikon D40 that we can use as well.
I'll let you know though when I get my rims back. I take them up there this Saturday and should be picking them up the Saturday after that. By then we should have some warm weather around here.
The SS/NA and the SS sideskirts are the same if I'm not mistaken, right?

Technically I didn't buy the rear lip or the grilles. My girlfriend bought the lip for me for Christmas and rear grilles for Valentine's Day. All I bought was the front lip and the clips.
Daytime or night...

Good god, your girlfriend must be LOADED. A PS3 and a flatscreen? We're talking what....$1,500+ here???? My ex's....even the one I dated 3 1/2 years.....never got me anything that freakin expensive, lol. Wow.
i used to be her supervisor...she took my job when i got promoted and when she went to school (she's a sophmore in college) she saved 1k and got me the tv.. i got the ps3 last christmas after being together for 5 months. lol

im not making fun of it at all it looks good but wouldent it of been cheaper to buy an ss thats my thought
not in all cases.. i wanted a 2.4 eco cuz i know how they respond to mods.. i hate the wings on the ss/sc i dont like leather....and im a fan of 17s..i got the 2.4 brand new for 12k... put the lips on for 600, cams, bolt ons and tune, for 1k and 13.5k later ill be as fast as a ss/sc with everything i wanted AND custom paint...

Um, excuse me? Fake SS? According to GM there were two SS models produced from 2005-2007, the 2.0L SS/SC and 2.4L SS/NA. In 2008 they changed that fact because of people like you complaining and babying to GM because of the lack of boost when it comes to 2.4L. As far as I am concerned since my car is a 2007 an in fact came with SS badges, my car is a SS. There's no need to come into my thread and insult my car because of your ignorance. Do not bash my car. Not only that but you have no idea what my performance plans or current modifications are, so don't underestimate people because it'll come back and bite you in the ass.

Stock with an extra 0.4 liters haha. How is the Trifecta Tune on your 2.4L? I've heard nothing but great things about it and heard it was fairly easy to complete on the car. What are your performance mods now and do you know what you were netting, whp wise, before and after gains from the tune?

the tune is great..car pulls alot harder and seems smoother..
on the car i got, ca v1 header, xtc 2.5" catless dp, k&n intake, custom borla exhaust, TTr tranny bushings, cavy short throw shifter, and the tune. i made 156 whp stock. im doing a dyno here soon.. im not completely done with the tune tho, i still need to datalog tomorrow so vince can adjust it for me more. i ordered the jbp 2.4 triflow cams and solid lifters and im waiting on those..i wanted to see if they came in this week to see if dynoing was worthwhile.

But mine too has never been on a dyno. But as many miles as I have on mine, I doubt my numbers would be as good as they could have been had I dynoed it earlier in it's life.
