I like those tip.Where you got them?

[01 LS1 Formula]

i think those tips are stock

[Smittro]

Love that color.

[bluehawk2000]

those tips are stock, I dont like them, even tho they do fill in the gaps back there.

So I see you have the same tastes I do in color lol, I love that midnight blue look.

This is the tips I have on mine. plane and simple look to it I am not the fancy kinda person

[NavyTATwo]

I like those tips.Where you got them?

I like the look of the non-WS6 tips also. My "new" 2000 WS-6 has a Borla exhaust that the previous owner put on it so it dosn't have the stock gun barrel WS6 tips. I wonder how much I would pay for a new set of tips.

well you can pay a lot or a little just depends here are some corsa clone tips for $150 --Coras Clone Tips-- (Both) normal corsa tips are any were from $400 - $500 but those are the most exspensive I think not positive on that one. just an example tho you could spend way less or way more.

IMO it needs an AIR EGR delete. immeadiately

And my headers, cause longtubes are sex :

[Ape Man]

-FAST intake is on
-Lowering springs are in
-New "Trans-Am" and bird stickers on taillight panel

All thats left to do are Longtubes/Y and Catback. And fit the Fuel Rail Covers.





Sits amazingly. So low, LOVE it, just needs tint now :






Also put on new Taillight filler panel stickers, mine were faded so bad :

[Ape Man]

Thank guys!

They are sportlines. Wasnt to bad to swap, my buddy Al and dad helped.

Just jacked car up, lowered rearend down to as far as it could. Pryed springs out and just pushed new ones in.

Fronts we removed 4 upper bolts and 2 lower shockmount bolts and upper balljoint/sway bar links. Compressed springs removed hat and removed spring. Compresed new one and reinstalled! Only bitchy part, have to make sure the lower spring perch is in right position to upper mount and lower mount line up. Other then that wasn't bad!

===

To freakin cold today to even want to do anything! We installed the Fuel Rail Coveres and snaped some pics. Tomorrow header install and Ypipe/Catback.





FRC:

[Ape Man]

-Got Ypipe and catback off
-Got Driverside Manifold is off
-Got Driverside Header on

Tomorrow going to remove Passenger side manifold and install Header, then install Ypipe and catback and Listen to the sweeeeet sound! :
