My car the day I bought it:
2000 Chevrolet Impala LS 3.8L 3800 Series II V6

So I decided I wanted to spice it up a bit. I decided to do a red theme with the car to offset the white.
I started by doing red overlays over the impala emblems:

I also got a vinyl piece for over the third brake light and I took off the impala emblem on the left and the dealer sticker:

Next I bought some white face guages:

Then I wanted to do the callipers and hubs red as well to match the overlays. Rice, maybe, but it goes well with the car as you will see:

So here's the car so far:

Then I decided to black out the windows. 5% rear 5 windows, and 20% for the front two.

Then I decided to install a system in my car:

After installation:

I also have tail light covers waiting to be painted, and a new front Indy grill on its way. Both chevy symbols in the front and back will be painted red to go with the theme. Once that's done, i'm going to paint the black mouldings the white body colour and then my appearance mods will be complete. Then I will move on to performance mods. The car actually already has Intake and exhaust mods as you can see from the pics.
