Ive also done a bit of performance modifications, as well as interior modifications. Performance: K&N CAI Summit Racing Cat4Ward Headers (waiting to be installed) Magnaflow hi-flow Cats (waiting to be installed) Corsa Sport Cat-Back Exhaust (waiting to be installed) Edge CTS Programmer (getting a custom tune soon) Pretty basic stuff so far. Everything waiting to be installed is because im deployed to Afghanistan right now. Will get done in April when I return home. Interior: Leather seats (came with cloth) Downfire sub box with 2 Kick Solo-Baric L7 8" subs JL 1000/1 amplifier Sony 7" in-dash dvd player Custom embroidered floor mats

I wanted to see what you guys would think about a crew cab Silverado SS Clone or "Phantom". I have an 05 Silverado (5.3L) that I have already begun to turn into my clone project. Coming across an SS in the area I live in is pretty slim, and I needed something that could fit more than the regular cab could. What are your thoughts on the idea of a crew cab clone? So far I have put on the 20" SS replica wheels, and a Street Scene SS bumper cover. The rear bumper and step pads are at the house waiting to get painted and put on. I eventually plan on doing the body cladding (moneys tight right now). Ive attached a couple of pictures of what I have done so far. Let me know what you guys think.

Ive been poking around and read that a lot of guys on here have Flex-a-Lite & E-Lite Fans equipped on their trucks. Seeing as Im somewhat new to all this, and Ive been out of the game for a while (stuck in f***in Afghanistan), I have a few questions about them... 1) Whats the purpose in them? 2) How hard are they to install? 3) What do I gain from having them? Thanks in advance for any help on this! Matt

Nothing yet! It wont be put in till I return from Afghanistan!

I need to continue to check this thread, this is something Im interested in knowing about myself.

How hard is it to actually do this?

Had I known you were trying to sell yours a few days ago I may have bought it. Already placed the order for everything. Matt

Cool deal. Im looking forward to going there. Im not so excited about going to a heavy scout platoon after being in an Air Assault platoon though. haha. (going to 1st BCT)

Im not exactly sure what it ended up costing. My dad had it replaced as a christmas present for me while im gone to Afghanistan. Works for me!

I have the same mufflers on my 5.3L right now. I also have the side exhaust coming out before the rear tires like you mentioned. Pretty good setup, to much drone for my taste though.

I had the same problem with the gauges in my 05 Silverado (non SS). I decided to try out some stick on faces to change them to white like in the SS, they turned out pretty decent looking. Took a while to get them lined up just right though.

I was a DJ in Lafayette, LA during high school. When I turned 18 I joined the Army. Im now a team leader for a heavy weapon scout section.

I would get rid of my crew cab silverado and get me the SS! But I would also go with a 68 Camaro SS - 2008 Cadillac CTS-V - 2008 Cadillac STS4 - 2008 Crystler 300 SRT8 - 2008 Dodge Ram SRT10 - and for my 'super car' I would go with the Crystler ME4-12

Ive seen that a good bit of people here have this system, and its got the look that I have been looking for forever now. I just placed my order for my system: Summit Racing Cat4Ward Headers Magnaflow "hi-flo" Catalytic Converters Corsa Sport Dual Exhaust (rear exit - split tips)

Sorry to hear about the tranny. I really have no advice on the subject since I just had to replace mine as well! Hopefully someone can give us the answers to what were doing wrong here.

I like it so far. Different body style that what you usually see. Keep us posted on your build progress! Matt

How did you like FT Stewart McMahan? Ive heard a lot of good things about the surrounding area. Matt

We need to start planning for a get-together between May 23 and June 19. Ill be back in Lafayette between those days for my post deployment leave!

I remember when the local PD was cracking down on tinted windows around town, so everyone I knew went fish bowl style except for me. And I never got pulled over for it. Thank God!

Aussie ehh? Welcome to the SS family. My wife has an 08 Subaru Legacy GT, a car im sure your somewhat familiar with.

Im from Lafayette myself. Im down to make the drive to the track when I get home!

Another from Lafayette, thats what I like to hear!
