Official Base Model Thread
This^^^ all you do is loosen the wheel hub(3 bolts on back of steering knuckle,pound out the broken stud and put new stud.I used a lug nut and a junk load of washers to set the stud back in place.then tighten your hub assembly back down and poof

Everyone's gotta start somewhere man! Just take your time and pace yourself, don't blow all your money at once... learned that the hard way. I personally don't wanna get the SS bumper cover.. I can't justify spending all the money for the bumper and getting it painted and for fog lights and all that stuff just to be something it's not.. I'm just trying to keep mine a really clean base model - while still looking modified.
Plus slapping SS bumpers on a non-ss is kinda played out. Everyone is doing it, that's why I'm looking at something over seas that will be original. Just waiting to get the wheels and tires out of the way first, then when taxes come i'll slap my new exterior mod on.
I put the SS bumper on mine to make it more aggressive looking,to fit the intercooler,and cause it was free(thanks to my mom running into me lol)I really dont give a **** about whats i"n" or if somethings "played out".I mod my car to my liking only.Dont care what anyone else thinks.
Looks better than 99% of the body kits out there. IMO slap a lip kit on the base model bumpers, it seems like it's rarely done and looks very clean IMO, especially the GM kit
Steve your car is fine, I have no problem with it or anyone else with SS kits on base cars. It's just everyone does it, to me it's played out. For my taste body styling wise I'd rather do something more unique to my ride. Styling wise there is more available than people might think. and you don't need to drop coin on a OEM GM lip, RKSport makes a much more attractive front lip for base models, and it's not expensive at all. Far less to paint than a whole bumper.



please hehe.Did you put the rear lip on the LS bumper?




took them real qucik took em with my camera phone
