Post your mods here!!!

Just picked up an 86 T/A and finally got most of the bugs worked out, still looking for an air dam today but that shouldn't be too hard.

I just want to see what kind of things everyone has done to their ride to set it apart from the rest (Interior & Exterior).

Also whats the best way to polish chrome and plastic(like the tail lights)..

You guys need to stop putting your cars down. If I could go back and start over, I would not have bought mine. I would love nothing more than to sell it, and get me a Chevelle. I keep modding it cause I get bored, and thanks to my father, this stuff runs in my blood. I can't help it. If I miss a day in the garage, I get like, all depressed and stuff.
