hey all, over the summer, I plan on doing a lot of little appearence upgrades to my car. I plan on chroming the bottom of the doors, dual exhaust with chrome tips, my friend has a totaled LS and she said I could have the rims and tires, and I plan on window tinting and pinstriping. One more thing I would like to do is get sort of an outline for my tail/brake lights. maybe you have seen them before, or know what I'm talking about? I thought maybe some long lost company somewhere would still make some sort of colored vinyl sticker to stick to my tail lights. Anyone know of any? or do I have to paint? whats the best and easiest way of doing that. Any other ideas of exterior add-ons? I want my car not only to look good going fast but also standing still. Thank you. Also, the dual exhaust will open up my exhaust, I was wondering if anyone has ever bored out the heads on the 3100sfi. Is it worth doing? increase a little more torque and a few horses? I was thinking about buying a couple used heads, regrinding the seats and valves, and see if there is anywhere they could be bored out, so I thought I'd ask you guys before i waste money on nothing. thanks

as far as the tails...i dont remember any companies doing it if you want buy some taillight covers and cut pieces out of it.....or go to a decal shop and tell them wha you wanna do

as far as heads, look into getting the heads/upper intake from a 3400 SFI(98-04) from an Alero, GA GT, Venture mini van,etc
