Grille change...

[02lilredSS]

I haven't done much to my car since I got her, and like most everything about her 'cept the grille.

I know it ultimately comes down to the one I like, but I'm kinda torn. What do you guys/gals think?

It is between these two:

id go with the 35th anniversary edition grill

[chevy94c]

Go with the 35 ann grille. That's looks sweet. ;)

[cthomas]

Yea the 35th gets my vote too. Looks real good in person and just flows well with 35th anniversery decals.

[chevy94c]

I wonder what those stripes would look like on a black car? Anybody good with photoshop?

[cthomas]

I have seen it photoshoped on LS1tech in the multimedia section. Might try a search on it, I know there on there somewhere. :hijacked:

[gettinthere]

35th

[loudmouthzls1]

another vote for the 35th

[ThrashN]

The red one

[02lilredSS]

Thanks all! The red was my 1st choice, but didn't know if it would look cheesy. (Anything's better than the generic one that's on my car now---with the rivet holes from having a front plate. :mad: )

I've seen a few on Cardomain w/that red grille & thougt it looked cool. Now it's just whether I order it thru Afterthoughts or LMPerformance. About the same price either way, so it's a coin toss. BTW, SLPonline was the MOST expensive (?)hmph!

[SlowPurpleLT1]

35th gets my vote too

i have seen a black one around here with the graphics and it looked good :thumbsup: I am thinking about getting those graphics in black on my car

[02lilredSS]

I've seen the graphics on a black car & liked it. I also saw the graphics on an '02 SS like mine, but they had it going down the side too!!! Personal pref I guess, but I thought it was overkill. :rolleyes:

[NviouSS]

go with the 35th.

[02lilredSS]

Waiting, waiting, waiting on the Big Brown Truck.

Yeah! I just ordered it about an hr. ago...hmmm, what's taking SO long. I got the red SLP 35th. I have no idea how to take mine off, and put a new one on. Haven't even looked, but it's gotta be easy. Right? Just a few screws, nothing too complicated. The hardest part will be holding onto the screws, 'cause I have long finger nails.http://www.planetsmilies.com/smilies/character/character0304.gif

How exciting! My 1st mod.http://www.planetsmilies.com/smilies/party/party0011.gif

[sleeperSS]

next week you'll be putting a blown stroker in it and asking where all your money went, lol

[Jaberwaki]

this is your FIRST mod!!!

wow girl we are gonna have to get you going... your WAY behind the power curve...

to take it off all u have to do is pop all the clips out and yank it off....im not sure how aftermarket grills work with putting them on seeing as i just took my grill off and left it like that

[02lilredSS]

@Jab 1st exterior mod. It's one rockin' screamin' party under my hood!http://www.planetsmilies.com/smilies/character/character0093.gif

My "Fbody Girl" song is about, and was written for me. What you didn't listen to the words? :D

@Cgirl Ha! The last time someone used the term "yank" when doing something to my car, they broke the lock out of my '99 Firebird t-top. (Not their fault, they didn't know I had them locked).http://www.planetsmilies.com/smilies/sad/sad0020.gif

[camarogrrrl]

did u get the new grill on yet?

[02lilredSS]

Nope. I just ordered it yeserday. I hate waiting on stuff to get delivered. I'm not an impatient person, it's just when I see something I want, I like to just go and get it. http://www.planetsmilies.com/smilies/cool/cool0023.gif

[camarogrrrl]

i know what ur sayin... im very impatient when it comes to getting parts for my car lol ........i know what i want and i want it now lol

[02lilredSS]

I've been trying to track my grille via internet, but just kept saying payment received, etc. So, I called them & it hasn't even left the place yet. It's been 1 week today. Is it that hard to get something out the door?http://www.planetsmilies.com/smilies/rolleye/rolleye0012.gif

[Jaberwaki]

1 week and they haven't even put it in the mail???
if it was me i would be making them ship it next day air , on there tab ;)

[02lilredSS]

Yes, that's kinda what I was thinking. I got it from one of the major guys who are a sponsor on ls1tech, but don't know what the big delay is.

The guy today took my ph# & said he'd call back when he found out the status. Guess he meant tomorrow(?)http://www.planetsmilies.com/smilies/confused/confused0004.gif

Apparently I wasn't clear on how much faster that mod will make my car, and he negated the urgency of prompt delivery pending my upcoming multi-$$$ dollar race!http://users.telenet.be/eforum/emoticons4u/trans/fahr19.gif

[Jaberwaki]

what was the company you ordered it from?

[02lilredSS]

I guess it's O.K. to say...just don't want to give "bad" publicity. It is LMPerformance. My e-mail confirmation on my order was dated 9/1/05.

I don't really do too much internet shopping but this seems really weird. I can understand if the shipping got off course, but it's not even left the warehouse. :rolleyes:

BTW-I'd luv to get the SLP 10 spoke 17 X 9 Chrome wheels (that were one of the opts), but I can't even find 'em. I found some Z06 Vette that were similar...that's about it.

i ordered some chrome lug nut covers from them and it took awhile for me to get them.

you want some chrome 10 spokes huh http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v226/NviouSS/smilies/scratchchin.gif? i want some 35th LE wheels

[camarogrrrl]

apparently from what i hear they stopped makin the chrome 10 spoke SS wheels :dontknow:

[02lilredSS]

you wish it, i'll dish it... :D

Just one more reason your Commander-in-Chief is so lucky!

Thanx Jabe, but you could've just said "ls1tech search button". Doh, I didn't even think of looking there. I was just googling & the closest I got were the 5's!

Yes! Those are exactly what I'm talking about. The 1st one comes w/tires which I don't need. The 2nd guy has only 2 (?), but Brandon's deal sounds fair. Thanks for the lead!

Now I'm off the complain to LMP!http://www.planetsmilies.com/smilies/mad/mad0082.gif

[02lilredSS]

Update:

I finally got to talk to someone at LMP. Apparently my grille is on back order & won't be in until the 23rd of this month. Whether they'll ship it right away or not, is another story (or guess).
Oh well, I'll try to forget about it for now===it'll get here when it get's here.

[Z-Bird]

Hate to necro dead posts, but the suspense is killing me --- did you get your grille?

Did you trade your car for a Vin Diesel Limited Edition Big Wing Honda?

Are you now posting at a VTEC Decal Forum?

What is goin' on around here?

[camarojoe1991]

Just a (extremly) quick photoshop job for a black car.

[02lilredSS]

A lil sarcasm I'm tasting in the back of my throat, as well a lil ribbing---ALL good of course! :D I took a short hiatus, but here it is...

Impressive --- your SS looks like it's lying in wait, to beat the hell out of the Ram Air that's on the way over to kick your a$$...
