Also, you are going to spend a fortune modding that car for performance.

really ? wow! maybe its just popular on J-body forums…

and i dont think it would be more than anyone else really to mod it for performance.  
can you explain how you see that?  
and plus im not looking for a real large amount of power…  
just looking to have a fairly quick fun to drive car.

how does an ls1 differ from the ecotec?  
like i said i still know very little about anything

if anything paint the car black, deffinatly dont do the rims black cause you cant see detail and tons of people do that, if you look at a car with black rims you think, they are steelies and if they obviously arent you think they must have looked like shit before so black hides it
