I'd get some buckets out of a Denali, Escalade, or really anything with buckets that are leather.

I think you should drop it, at least a 2/4 maybe 4/6 depending on what size those wheels are and how bad your roads are locally.

Darker tint.

Upgrade grille, color matched. Some new lights all the way around with the rears smoked or candied.

Also will not want to over look performance upgrades. A cold air intake, exhaust, ect..Make sure everything is in good mechanical order before dumping all the money to make it look good.

Great start for sure...good luck. DO what you want to do. We can all tell you what we think looks good, but do things for what you like.

Ah good. The 4.3 is good, but it just doesn't have the umph the 5.7 has.

Yeah, I like the impala SS rims, those are pretty sweet.

Rockstars are alright, but you really have to know what you are doing to pull off the look...

You going to lower?

we'll be watching, keep us updated. we love pics. a lot. like coke:junkies::pics:us

Yeah, they are pretty expensive. I was thinking of designing my 77 to work with rockstars, but they are a little too hard to pull off on a square body.

OBS trucks look killer with a 4/6 drop. Since you're changing to the bowtie grill, are you going to change to the 95-99 style, or stick to the 88-94?

If you change to the newer one, be sure and take plenty of pics, I'm thinking of doing that myself... lol.
