News And how do you Like your SSR?

You can Vote twice in this poll.

I thought it would be nice to revisit the Stock vs Custom look to see how many members here who like to see where some of our members are about keeping their rides either completely stock or having the appearance of "Factory Stock" but choose to upgrade some of their mechanical parts for better performance and or durability. I.E. Mike's upgraded cooling fan, exhaust, etc

Then there are those that completely change their looks like removing all the Chevy Bow Ties, and or added lots of customized parts and for some even turbo chargers. Then there are those that just want to upgrade their rides with genuine GM accessories and options... such as Chrome wheels, soft saddle bags, wind break, aux gauges or perhaps some GM Chrome trim pieces added to give them more bling. Then there are those that love lots of extra chrome and add all those extra chrome parts as in the engine compartment to the bowties.

Please vote and share your favorite tastes in the poll above:

NOTE: We ALL certainly can appreciate someone else's custom work but this poll is designed to reflect your very own "personal taste" for you very own SSR OK?

No choice for those that have more than one.
I would like to customize one & keep the other stock.

I check off the "I have "upgraded" the mechanics & "customized" my SSR" and I like to say I plan on continuing to make both upgrades/customizing as my allowance permits.

With the new software it now appears I can't add more than 10 categories...

So I decided to change one option that was not used to show 2 SSRs one for Stock and One Customized. Hope that will help you and others out. I am sorry but I can't give 3 or more SSR owners an option here too.

BTW: I added 1 vote into that new option for you.

Could be "have more than one SSR so I can have the best of both worlds".
But of course it could stay the same as it is, too.

I was awed by the beauty of the machine as it appeared, stock. I don't want to change the looks. It is, however, inherent to personalize your possession. Some of the modifications I have seen are really keen. The artistic paint jobs with the ghost flames are out of this world. I just prefer mine to be stock.

Well lets see had a migraine head ache other day so like my SSR more than that. I don't like it more than Pasta & meatballs.

But I do have to say that this KOOL ASS truck has grown on me. To the point of what I have done and to what I'll do in the future. As far as upgrades.

But the part that stands out the most is the group of people I know call Friends and brother. They said you meet a better class of people on a Honda, well there are NO FINER people that one could meet, then those that own an SSR.. ( Notice I never said Harley )

Like today coming back from the body shop, couple at the light rolled down their window and said awesome truck and very cool flames, then asked what it was, I said stolen. And thats priceless and what makes it so cool owning this very unique truck..

Just remember as you run the high ways that, TRIXS ARE FOR KIDS YOU SILLY WABBIT..

It's so darn hard not to customize! The SSR is such a beautiful base to work from for customizing. So many performance and visual things you can do. But with the exception of few reversible mods, the Dragon will stay stock.

However, our Sunburst Orange HHR is going to get the works! I have to get it out of my system somehow!

I saw the best customized SSR I have ever seen, Yesterday while shopping for a new Home. My wife was with me, and she got the urge to use the Ladys room. So she left me there and went down to the closest place of convenience. When she came back, she was Topless. Now that was sexy, and the best customizing I will ever see on my SSR.
