    I think that if you can pull it off just like 6LE it will look great, anything else and it will be a huge step back.

    Is your car setup for that style or LT1 style?

    If I could find some candy corn...

    I'll buy a 98-02 before I do an ls swap. Or turbo mine before an ls swap. I still prefer a 98+ front end over the lt1s.

    Ttop conversion has definitely been on my mind. It's not like I don't have the tools to do it lol

    Here's what id do if it were my car, if youre looking for some inspiration:

    I think the SS hood and a factory front bumper will do wonders for the look. Also gloss black grille area with a bodymatched bowtie and fog lights. Paint a black manta stripe on the SS scoop, a black hockey stripe on the sides and berger panel to compliment it. I like that purple but i think it needs a little more to contrast against to really pop. Roof and wheels are a good start.

    For me personally i have to like the look of a car before i can even begin to care about horsepower and everything else. Unless its strictly a race car.
    I appreciate the help Joel, especially coming from you. Only thing I don't agree with you on is the hockey stripe. Never personally cared for them. Bumper is definitely needed I just don't want to pay the price for a brand new oem one. I need to find a good condition take off.

    Haha I'm more picky about painting other people's stuff than I am my own. And I'm damn picky with my own stuff.

    So, I'm back to bring extremely bored with this car again.

    I thing my biggest problem is that I enjoy working on it more than driving it. Why? That doesn't help me financially either.

    It's back up on Craigslist, well not that it really ever left but for a short period of time.

    Bummed.

    I'll still be painting the ss hood. Go from there.

    I have also thought about getting a new head and cam package from lloyd but it's only matter of time that I'll be bored with that.
