Hey Jayson, where'd you get your exterior SS emblems?

They are OEM Replica's of '69 Impala Fender SS emblems. I then had them painted RJT by the same painter that did my wheels. The emblem's where bought off of Ebay for about $70 for the pair (front/back). Getting them painted RJT cost about $60 or so. That RJT is a tri-coat, and makes the process more expensive.

Not too tough. Just put some 3M double sided Emblem tape on the back, trim off the excess with a exacto bladed (modeling) knife, clean the car body area surface with alcohol, and stick to the body of the car.

The 3M tape I used was 1/2in wide. So I laid out and stuck strips (east/west wise) accross the backside of the emblems. Took about 4 strips, butted top to bottom, that were little over 2" long per "S". Trimed the excess tape off around the "S"s, cleaned car surface with alcohol, and stuck them on. Because it was under 65 degrees the night I did it, I used a hair dryer (after the fact) to ensure good tape adhesion for about 5 mins.

SSmokinhot,

I have lowered it. I have the Pfadt front and rear coils springs, rear trailing arms and the front and rear sways all from Pfadt. Vengeance Racing in Georgia installed them for me. They also did the cam swap, which I am pushing about 450 rwhp or so.

The SS on the windshield I got from a Guy at the MTI Funfest last year, but I have CRS, Can't Remember well you know.

I am currently doing the winter detail getting ready for the spring and I am about 1/3 of the way through with it. The pics were before I started, first sunny day in awhile, lol. I have about three more weeks of detailing and should be good to go for a while.
Thanks, They do look really good
