| How did i find my SS Impala? Wellll........ I was into American Muscle Cars & American Lowrider Trucks since a kid. i loved them. First car was a 1985 Camaro z28 purple knew nothing about it but it was badass. Then came the Mini Trucks!!!! Had 3 that i absoultely loved! *Marge-2000 GMC Sonoma- two tone champayne top black bottom, 20% tint, 20" american racing rims, toyo tires, lowered to where a soda can fit under her snug. Won a few trophys-Best Female Lowrider, Best Out of 20, and Best Lowrider..Sold Her. *Elvira- 1998 GMC Sonoma Lowered, All tailights shaved off and in bottom rollpan, Modified back window with rear license plate holder, 20% tint, Murdered Out. Sold Her as well. (pics of back ill have to hunt down) **Pinky was a bagged up 1998 chevy s10 single cab she was a project truck that was hoping to make it as a "show truck only" unfortunetly my mechanic/body shop man that i have known since kids n the ONLY mechanic i trusted, got into some trouble and got put in the pen for a long time so i ended up selling pinky 1/3 pink 1/3 primer & 1/3 green. She had 20" powdercoated rims with low pro tires. Id have to dig for pics....... But before my mechanic got into a slew of trouble he brought me to look at a "boat musclecar" he described it as. Said for the money i couldnt go wrong. Well we drove to Tiverton, RI about a hour from me and came across a kid with bills, a baby momma (lol) and in need of quick cash. I laughed as i saw the car parked under a tree. i asked for the keys got in and fired her up and man did she purrrrrrrr but knew shed need alot of work on the interior but the outside was clean no rust, no dents, only a few scratches and engine was super clean. i stepped on the gas and boy did she take of chirping tires and all!!!!!! I fell in love right then and there ended up talkin the kid down another 500 bucks and got her for 3 Grand 93,000 original miles 1 Owner and it was his baby i almost felt bad taking it from him!! Buttttt i Drove her straight home with the biggest smile ever........She at times has taken all my money, but in the end i have a huge smile when she gets something new or even washed. Name: La-La 1994 SS Impala Flowmaster Exaust, Eibach Springs, 35% Tint, Homeplate Delete, Clear Corners, Satin Black Wheels w/ Pink Calipers Owned Since: 10/10 Miles- 118,000 Before Before After-Painted by 96slowss After I do Upholstery, sewing is my passion in life. I was lucky and only had to redo my drivers side seat and replace carpet but got a insert from Ebay, all other seats are perfect. I only did the middle inserts on top and kept the original sides but wish i did all of it now cuz it has taken some wear n tear in the last year. On the seat i re-did all of it. Replaced drivers side door panel & back passenger, all the window motors & tracks in all 4 windows. This winter i shall be switching interior over to black with some pink accents. Badass Sticker in back window of course His (96slowss) & Hers Impalas BIG thanks 2 bowtiepimp for the heads up for C.O.T.M for Turkey Month

What Matt means to say is he wants you to fix his tahoe seat fo free! lol Nice Imp, I think the tint could go darker but that's just me! Some pink flames would set it apart from the other black impalas. | |

| Ghost flames yes (I like scallops better) but definitely NOT solid flames Too much pink could ruin it I did subtle touches to my ladies b-body a few years back: The dash was a little much but the gauge bezel, vents, and radio trim were perfect. I sewed the seats with pink velvet and the door panels received the same. | |

Hey, any time you want line that fast, black hot rod up against the rainbow machine, you just let me know and I'll show you what the faster color is... And Indigo, that sure was a LOT of pink! Lol My next sticker order will include some pink stickers. April, shoot me a pm or email and let me know what you want. I can do pink shirts, too. Just ask Justin. | |
