rayleymail Posted December 31, 2004 Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 Congrats on the new truck. I am not a fan of the color but you have your reasons for wanting it. Welcome to the site. What plans do you have in store for it? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> First thing I need is a hard toneau cover that keeps the simple clean look of the SS. Any suggestions?

SSplaytoy Posted January 1, 2005 Report Share Posted January 1, 2005 First thing I need is a hard toneau cover that keeps the simple clean look of the SS. Any suggestions? You want looks or speed? Drop it and so one for looks. Speed is a bit more costly. It is up to you. Hey you could be the first supercharged silver SS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On Sunday I took a 12 hr bus ride to get it which made the trip home that much sweeter. Was in and out of the dealership Monday in 2hrs or less. Everything just as we discussed on the phone. Couldn't have been easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the idea of dropping it, that was the first thing I thought when I saw it. Aren't the kits were $400 buck or so? Are they an easy DIY install?

I bought mine from him as well .... super nice guy. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I bought mine there too. Absolutely no problems. They even delivered it 550 miles on a flatbed trailer for free. This was back in '03 so maybe they aren't doing that anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I CORNER Posted January 3, 2005 Report Share Posted January 3, 2005 I just don't care for the grey paint job! It is unbelievably bland. About the only thing that could save it is to make it the only color to get the LS2 400hp engine. I can't believe Chevy dumped Arrival Blue. The striking Arrival Blue is what got my attention on the SSSs in the 1st place. It remains a VERY striking color that people ask me about all of the time. Black looks the meanest, but is VERY hard to keep clean. Everyone has a red car and it is a little too easy for cops to notice and target. The blue is bright, yet subdued at the same time.

ChevySSandChevy8.1 Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 I still dont see the sliding rear glass. I even picked up one of the sales books from our dealership and it does not say anything about the rear slidding glass. I wish someone would post a picture... JOSH <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Ok I finally went to the dealer to take the pics, of the silver birch SS with the sliding rear window. It was dark when I took the pics but you can still see the outline, but basically its just like any rear sliding window from GM, I'll try and take better pics next time.

m396 #00-011 Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 Pages and pages of posts, and we get two stinkin' pics! Get some more, I like the looks in that light better than the others. Still looks bland to me, but would make a great everyday driver color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSilverad03 Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 Sorry guys I was on Nellis AFB where I work at and I seen one at the hospital. Unfortuantely I did not have a camara on me for some pics. I did leave a note on his windshield letting him or her about the site. Funny thing was last night I was at best buy looking for a parking spot and guess what takes the spot I was eyeballing, a black 04 SSS. I don't think he was as much an enthusiast as I am because I waved and he just looked away. Besides it still had the dealer tags on so he's a newbie. Oh well thats a record for me, two sightings in two days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
