How do you Like your SSR?

[Marc NY]

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?

Thanks for posting Marc, I was able to vote more than twice however.

Hmm dang software glitches again?

[1luckydog]

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.

[ssrmaddox]

But, I have two SSR's and their both customized????( Actually, I have one and Mama has the other, and she has done her own customizing)
Lil Devil and Lady SSR...

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.

How do I like my SSR?

Over easy


chin spoiler, windsuppressr....... easy on the eyes pleasantly pleasing For now Someday planning a custom paint scheme

[Jgrden]

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.

[BluDragon]

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!

[XSELER8]

Mine is Slightly customized. I have the desire to go the distance but limited funds. So little by little.

Joe's tune and a Magnaflow exhaust . . . sounds great . . . has plenty of zip . . . I'm done !

[SSeveRe]

I like the look of it - STOCK. Then I finally got some chrome rims and am now looking 2 get a customized paint job. I dont know what else I should do to her... Any small suggestions?

[MoodyBlue]

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.

[vettegirl]

I wanted mine a little different.

[SSRHEARTBEAT]

Made a couple performance and appearance changes to the Black over Silver, but nothing that can't be put back to 100% stock in 30 or 40 years.

The Yellow we bought to do what we want to, just haven't done "what we want to" yet...

For me... I love classic cars/trucks... Years ago, when I was looking for my 67 Mustang... It was soooooo hard to find one that hadn't been altered... I wanted to see what the original designers created. I'd like to keep the SSR as close to original as possible... but saying that, there are a couple things I have done & plan to do. Mud flaps!!! Its how I found the Fanatic website!!! All because I was sick & tired of dirt splashed on my door!!!... Joe's tune (fabulous!!)... Hood struts! The tailend has got a way from me a couple of times... so I've got the sway bars installed & will lower it a wee bit at the next tech session to help with the center of gravity. Other than that ... can't think of anything else...

[Copacetic Kris]

I can't help but make "improvements" to CK. Have made quite a few to her:
Eric's functional hood scoop
Wing Spoiler
Mike's aux. fan
Mike's replacement fan
Mike's daul exhaust
Muth mirrors
Toyo proxeys
Decals and Badges (I need stinking badges)

next is the sway bars followed by the gear change to 4.56

It's no curse...you were going to get 10" whether you had the Tear Drop or not

Hey!..Let a guy whine will ya?.. The cold seems to like me and I am still being teased about going to Cocoa Beach last year at Easter to enjoy some sun..only to bring Florida a record breaking cold temperature for Easter there ever.. And it rained four of the five days there too. Then when we get to Orlando airport to leave, the sun is blinding us and hear on radio..."Today will be sunny and 80 degrees." .... My wife just looked at me and we started laughing and saying.... only us.

[Marc NY]

Looks like we have gotten some good replies in our latest poll.

[jewlz965]

I do love my stock , but eventually want a customized paint job. Just trying to decide how I want it to look. Thought about flames, but so many have gone with flames - not that that's a bad thing, but if I could get the creative brain side to work I'd prefer to do something a little different. Plus, the flamejob that I would want is taken (can't be a copy cat).

I'm thinking maybe a design across the hood, but need to find somebody who has an artistic mind who can draw it out for me (even a computerized drawing), to show me what my idea would look like on a (to see if I need to change the color entirely - but I do like the red).

[botikit]

I did a quick vote for customized my ssr but still look (stock).
but I should vote for slightly customized,because I lowered
it, paint the bow tie red, and magnaflow exaust with 5 inch
end tips,and custom seats.
