Has come a long way from when I picked it up but its worth it

Question is.... should I debadge? Im leaning towards yes since it could look cleaner.

So today I gutted the whole interior , just getting it ready for the car audio installation here is the list of what will go in it



-Pioneer GM-D8604 600W RMS Class FD 4-Channel GM Digital Series Amplifier
-Rockford Fosgate T500-1dbCP
-Rockford Fosgate P3-1X10 10" sub
-Pioneer DEHX9500BHS CD Receiver Bluetooth iPod USB
-Kicker 11KS5.2 5-1/4" 2-way Component Car Speakers
-Kicker 11KS69 6"x9" 2-way KS Series Coaxial Car Speakers

and the Viper 5704V alarm with remote start

I also got my GMPP handling kit in the mail from GMPARTSDIRECT, Fbody brakes need to go in and NEW carpet

Am I assuming the dash is fubar in that car?

I took out all the interior components , including the dash . I dont want the installation guys screwing up and breaking any tabs

Dash was in perfect uncracked condition till I decided to fix the HUD and I cracked the **** out of it .

Car went to the car audio shop this morning, I meanwhile trimmed the new carpet to install once car gets home

So what exactly is the shop installing for you? Hope if anything they're just doing the alarm the rest you can tackle..hell you could do the alarm yourself as well if you wanted to.

They are doing the alarm stereo , I was thinking of doing everything myself but I only get 2 days off and work 50 + hours a week + school and family , not enough time

Latest on the GP NEW TIPS , straight pipe and MOAR LOW

its lowered?

Its lowered, DNA springs im guessing they are still settling

I have actually gone back and forth on uninstalling the visors but it helps in the highway and keeping the window a bit down especially in AZ when its so freaking hot. I still need to install reflective concept decals and yes I will debadge and maybe install the "l67" badge in the back

After further consideration I took the visors off this morning it did look kind of funky, I will not install any badges and will debadge the whole car Thinking of a installing a Gen V and XP cam setup next ....

Ok so here are some recent pics with the reflective concept decals on filler plate and bumper , the question now is should I fix the tips(stick out a bit) or should I leave them. I see some GP's with tips under the bumper opening that makes the car look "clean" , other than that I decided to keep modding it so I should be posting cam, gen V and other stuff later on.........







I YES the car was lowered with DNA springs , am I satisfied ..NO but ooh well still better than stock

Great pictures, I can tell the front springs have settled, but the rears are still a tad high. As for the tips they look fine although the left side seems to be hanging lower than the right. Use a radiator hose style band clamp to fine tune the height on the rubber hanger.
