There r minor nicks here and there Id like to touch up. I would like some racing strips or flames. Mabye eventually down the line some fender flaring that resembles the "Dick Harrell" edition(I love that look

). That would be it as far as exterior mods would go. Gotta finish the performance mods first!

heck no. just ordered all the polished covers for my engine bay. I am painting my coil packs and my ls6 manifold SOM, I will also polish my valve covers. I also want to do a berger panel in gloss black and do either one of the hood decals on my car, but dont have the balls. dk if it will change the way my car looks. since i have a chrom scheeme going.

Neither of those look good with your current scheme IMO. You would have to do a black grille to pull off the black scoop or black inlay. It just doesn't tie in with the grille you currently have.

**01SOMSS!** · 12-25-2007, 07:28 PM

yeah. i know. that's what's keeping me from doing it. u think a beger panel would flow ok?

If you did a Berger panel, black grille and one of the black options on the scoop that would all tie in together nicely. The Berger alone on a SOM would be ok, but not any better or worse than as is. Basically what I am saying is I probably wouldn't do the Berger mod on SOM unless you did a grille and possibly some black on the scoop, otherwise its just a lateral move.

**01SOMSS!** · 12-25-2007, 08:03 PM

I know what u mean. I dont want to do a black grill because most som's have the slp SS or the wings west grill. I still havent seen another SOM with my grill and thats what kinda sets me apart from the rest. plus i love my grill
