first mod was tint than remove dealership badge and rear chevy badge

 

First thing i did was got a DC Strut Bar, then took off the GM Badges, then got an exhuast tip, and then nite shaded the tail lights, and lastly the shorty antenna. However my next mods will be CAI and tinting the windows.

 

are there any mods that dont void the warranty?

 

I guess I would like to do the intake mod as well, will that affect the warranty as well?

 

if you are looking at racing it at all i would suggest the driver mod first many people put gobs of power but they cant handle it. i know an intake wont make lots of power but im just keeping a few steps ahead.

 

No racing for me, just heard that an intake beefs up the HP a bit and better mileage too? Is that accurate? Is it worth doing if you arent really driving the **** out of it or racing it? I dont have the supercharged, just a an SS.

 

There has been a lot of debate about that. An intake won't give you a lot of power; the consensus seems to be that it improves throttle-response, and a friend who has one on her SS/SC says it improved her gas mileage slightly.

As to whether it's 'worth it', that's up to you. I don't drive mine hard, and I definitely don't race it. So if I did an intake, it would be mostly for looks. Personally, I'm not 100% sure I want the noise from it, but that again is up to you.

 

16's?? Wow big step..

 

Who asked you?

 

Anyone put the chrome door handles on? I thought about that and maybe the chrome louvered upper and lower grill. I think it might accent the chrome wheels pretty well.

 

i just ordered my k and n filter and am going to do the filter box mod. so thats my first. just if ya wanted to know. cause i dont have an extra 180 or whatever it is for another CAI.

 

If anyone wants to buy my slightly used K&N drop in for the 2.4L SS, I will sell if for $20. It was my first mod and I thought it was a good buy. I used it for 3 months before I got the CAI. Still really clean in and the orginal box. PM me if interested.

 

The driver mod is the best mod anyone can do whether they intend on racing or not.

 

What EXACTLY is the "driver mod"? Just strictly say, a Injen intake? Or is there more to it? Obviously I am a NOOB at this stuff so please bear with me on all the tech questions. Ya gotta learn sometime from someplace.
Thanks.

 

Bought the car on Wednesday, installed the intake on Thursday.

 

wow. Which one? how much?

 

It's not a mod that you actualy put on your car but it's improving your driving skill. You see most people buy a car and think they can instantly drive it to it's full potential. That is almost never true though. Truth is the average person doesn't drive well at all. So the "driver mod" is really just improving your own driving skill like rev matching, smooth quick shifting, that means not just slamming through the gears but doing it with some fluidity and other things of that nature.

Your right, you do have to learn some place and you are doing fine for a newb. Don't worry if your questions seem silly or obvious because they really don't. Of course this is the internet so there will always be some joker with low self esteem to try and cut you down, but there will also be a dozen other who will truthfully try and answer your question and help you out.

Have fun modding and keep on researching.

 

takeing off the dealer badge, rims, and tint
