The Annihilator......
Thought I'd just create one thread about my cars customization. I have been thinking about this "look" since Indy and have been very quiet because I did not want to let the cat out of the bag too early. I wanted my car to look like it could have come from the factory with the mods I did.
I'll just post the pics and then let you ask me anything. The customization includes: Removal of mailslot 2008 Impala SS door badges 2008 Impala SS tailpan badge Removal of chrome tail light trim Removal of Chevy bowtie Weld up holes from Chevy bowtie Gloss black black-out tailpan Painted ground effects with darked-out diffuser Feel free to copy anything or ask me anything. Enjoy!

the first thing you should have removed was that dealer sticker!

Not everyone dislikes their dealer. Some people are friends with their dealer.

The dealer sticker is there by design. Reason is that I wanted the car to look as authentic as possible, the dealer's family are very close freinds and the name Boulevard sounds cool!

I don't like the front piece. It has that "added on" look and besides, the original lower fascia is gorgeous!

Rear is 2008 Impala SS. Be forwarned - this badge will not cover the 2 holes behind the Bowtie emblem. You will need to plug weld the holes and use body filler to get the same effect.

You're taillights look GREAT. I can't believe how easy it is to fix their styling. I never liked that design from the time I first saw it 9 months before the showcar was presented!
