Official Base Model Thread
guilty as charged..........
twas going good for a while there with everyones base model status's and I still enjoy trolling here. I have to add that I got fully bolted/tuned on my SS/TC now for $300 total cost to me (was bone stock when I got it). basically i doubled where my LT was at power-wise, which was the goal and reason behind selling it. very small parts of me misses the simplicity of the LT and how I could drive it like I stole it and get 33mpg yet, but that fades quickly once I realize I can now do unneccesary rolling burnouts at 40 mph lol
just figured I stop in and say high again! keep up the good work guys

Everyone's Base models look great! Here is my 05 LS . I trade all the time and with 155k miles it doesn't seem worth it to turbo or s/c since will be harder to trade with higher miles. I'm not getting any offers for it since the value is so low . The previous owner supposably put a new 2.2 in , but no paperwork so thats why im leaning on trading it off . Though the block is black where he said he painted it before he dropped it in and I dont think the ecotec's come all black so im still unsure .

me too, just got a new hood about a month ago...

oh and i <3 boooost
meh, personally, i like my low rise...but it's your car lol so whatever you think looks best...take the high rise off just to see how it looks wingless then go from there?
what is the best way YOU would suggest I drop it? I dont want to spend hundreds of dollars since im not going to have it too long anyways . I thought have maybe finding some springs on craigslist , I know bad idea with stock struts but I would only be doing 1 1/4 or so drop .
I was dropped on stocks for 4 years,the ride still be stiffer,but not terrible.leave the car alone if your getting rid of it.just drive it
