SSTG's Build. [COTW 3/19/12]
 

Hey guy's after a few people suggested I start a build thread I figured it might be time.
This is the first time I have ever done a build thread so please forgive me for lack of dates and specifics. I usually don't keep cars long enough to do a build thread.

I bought the car March 2011. Completely stock with 1900 miles on it. Mint condition.

First Mod was a full clear bra. Front, mirrors, rockers, gills and rear quarters. (Firm believer in clear bra)

How it looked when I first got it.

I tried to liven it up a little with the Hockey stripe. I liked it, but when I installed the Heritage grill I tore one side with the guide pins from the front bumper!

I installed 22" TSW Donningtons, made the car look totally different.

I was happy with the SS at this point and should have stopped while I was ahead. But we all know it just doesn't work that way,lol.

I decided to install the Heritage Grill and the GM ground effects.

Next was to lower the car with Pfadt lowering springs.

Got tired of the White stripes and ended up Creating what is now the NS-1 Stripes along with the NS Series of stripes. I want to thank Camaro5 for all the support,WOW!

Although the Donningtons are nice, I wanted something with a Lip. So off with the TSW's and on with the 22'' Rennen Three piece Forged R5's!

I always admired how your car looks especially with the new NS4 stripes looks bad a$$.

Do you have a DIY on how to apply the cf vinyl on the interior trims?
