  1. Here was my 55 gallon, its since been sold about 3 years ago. Not sure if I miss it. They are beautiful but a PIA especially if you have to travel alot. Theres not too many people I would trust watching my tank. 55 gallon, 25gallon sump. Euro Reef skimmer, 6 bulb T5's. Mainly SPS and LPS. All the SPS were from ORA Reef.
  2. Well I have had it for 5 days and have not looked back at the SSS. I frickin love this thing! Most def. needs a tune though.
  3. In terms of miles and horsepower I would say its an upgrade. The poor SSS had 160,000 miles and was getting expensive to fix and upkeep and was getting nervous what was going to break next. I ran into a deal that I couldn't pass up on an 06 TBSS with only 25,000 miles. I absolutely love this thing. Rides solid, no ratttles yet, good power, and WARRANTY! I do miss the SSS but it was getting tired, and couldn't stand how every panel in the truck would rattle and the ride was getting really sloppy. Plans for the TBSS? nothing major right now as money is tight. First things first, paint the bowtie black, tint front windows, debadge a few things. Next summer I will be putting on some 22" chrome TBSS replicas and some stereo work.
  4. But now that i think of it, I might just leave it off. I think it looks clean without it.
  5. Cool, I will get one made locally based off that. Thanks!!
  6. Because some douche bag desided to key my tailgate, I had to get it repainted and remove the emblems. Unfortunately the Silverado emblem below the "SS" was disposed of at the bodyshop. Anyone have to replace theirs before? Thanks.
  7. Think this will fit in my truck box? http://www.ebay.com/itm/BAC-TSR2-RAF-Aircraft-Olympus-320-Jet-Engine-TSR-2-UNIQUE-Oportunity-/130574234473?pt=Motors_Aviation_Parts_Gear&hash=item1e66d4b369&vxp=mtr
  8. I have it and it depresses me daily that I wasted 600 bucks on that system. "no highs, or lows, it must be bose"
  9. The time has come and I am in need for an upgrade. I will be selling the SS for a 09 Sierra Denali. Just curious on what you guys think I could get for my truck. Specs: -03 Silverado SS -145,000 and in Excellent shape. Paint is immaculate, no dents, scratches, blemishes, etc... -Interior shows some wear on the leather seats -22" replicas -2/3 lowered -Pioneer Double Din, 12" w3, 600/1 JBL, JBL components -Astro Car Starter -CAI, Exaust -I will be selling as is. I will not be removing anything from the truck. I know aftermarket parts do not increase the value of the truck, but could help with the asking price, maybe... I would LOVE to get $15,000 for it but not sure if its feasible. I almost feel stupid for making a post like this, but would love your feedback. Thanks guys!!!
  10. Did that to mine about 3 years ago with black vinyl. I did the eyelids and blacked out the amber corners. I like the way it looks.
  11. If I were able to do it all over again, I would have just got the ultimate kit. You will save tons of money in the long run. http://www.adamspolishes.com/p-611-adams-ultimate-porter-cable-7424xp-detail-kit.aspx About a year ago is when I first ordered some Adam's products. This included, Americana, Detail Spray, Super VRT, and All Purpose Cleaner. Now a year later I pretty much own the whole product line. Now have I just ordered the ulitmate kit, I would have saved tons a money not only on the products but shipping as well. Now, if you are familiar with machine polishing and have some experience, i would recomend getting the kit with the Flex polisher.
  12. It's a half ton truck with a 345hp and runs a 15 in the quarter. I don't consider the SS a sport truck. IMO its a good platform for either lowering or lifting. The cladding makes for a beefy looking truck that I think compliments the lift very well.
  13. You don't necessarily let Americana "haze" it's almost ready for removal right after you apply it. I wouldn't apply the wax to the whole vehicle and then remove it. I usually do a quarter of the vehicle then remove the residue. If it sits too long it can be difficult to remove.
  14. actually did that to my buddies cat, as yes, alcohol was involved.
  15. Thanks man. Yeah its roughly 2/3 drop.
  16. You get what you pay for and yes I would say the Americana is better. As far as looks, I believe Americana will produce a deeper more rich look versus the Buttery. Also, Americana is more durable. But if you don't want to fork over 70$ for wax, Buttery is an awesome product.
  17. I will never fuss with Zaino again. I hated the Zaino process, way to many products, lengthy application time, difficult to figure out how much product to use, can be a pain in the ass to remove etc... However, Zaino did have an amazing shine if you did it right. Adam's on the other hand has brought me closer to detailing. It honestly has became therapy for me when it comes to detailing, and will will credit this to the ease of applications and outstanding results from Adam's. Adam's has made detailing enjoyable again. I know it's starting to sound like I am being paid by Adam's to endorse their products, but I am not. If something works and I have received excellent customer service I will make sure I pass alone the message. I own probably 90% of the product line and I have not been let down yet. From the Americana Paste Wax, all the way down to the applicator pads, every product is top notch and of the highest quality. The 70$ for the Americana Paste Wax was worth every penny. Also, the tub of wax will last forever. Make the switch, you will not be disapointed.
