Looks good but you should take the SVT plaque off the upper intake! It looks good but don't advertise it to be something it's not!

If that is an SVT UIM, it can keep the SVT plaque. It's not like he has SVT decals all over the car!
Good job!
BTW, what did it take to do the swap?

If you want to to give better contrast, you can take your needles off and paint them a different color. (I painted mine orange - looks good!) All you gota do is strip the white paint on the bottom of the needles and replace it with a different color, I used a toothpic to apply my paint. The car looks good though. Interesting paint with the SVT ground effects

Hey, thanks for enlarging them...Yeah, dropping it will come as soon as the end of my driveway at my new house is leveled off. I hit up now as so as it is. As for the SVT plaque, well I decided just to leave it on. It's actually SVT's UIM from factory, so why rip it off? Got the UIM off of a wrecked '99. Works like a charm :-) As for the stripes, well, the girlfriend liked them, so you know how that goes...same for the flames...they gotta go...their cheap and now their dirty and peeling. Anyway, the paint job on the kit and installation cost me my 17 inch rims for now...$250. Not too bad I guess, for a professional job. It cost more to have the guy install it. $450...I wasn't about to try and put it on myself. It was worth it though. I had a guy the other day pull up to me at Wal-Mart with a Firebird WS6 and said "Nice ground effects...I like it." Pretty good compliment from a guy with a car I wish I had. Anyway, I'll post more as soon as the next mods come in. Indiglos are on the way!
