Winter Plans for Your Vette?
I am wondering how many of you use the winter months to make upgrades/mods to your Vette. As for me, last winter it was new exhaust, this winter will be mainly focused on interior. I recently purchased and had installed this wheel from MCS. I love it and Mike now has my entire console giving it makeover to match. To bring it all together the guys at American Hydrocarbon are fixing me up with carbon fiber to replace the steering wheel trim, door button trim, shifter trim and e-brake button. I am also switching over to Lloyds Ultimats in VR and going with body color door handles. What are your winter plans?

I usually do mods or do some kind of change to my car each winter.
This year, my project list is fairly light compared to past winters.
1) Install new headlight lenses
2) Fabricate a rear partition / with plexiglass insert
3) Re-stich all the leather accessories with yellow stitching similar to pics
4) Clay Bar, and polish

I really should get around to installing my ZR1 spoiler...
I'm usually busy downhill skiing during the winter months.
Cool wheel!

When the weather is conducive, I'll be driving mine. and when the weather keeps them inside, I'll be planning trips for next summer.

I picked mine up at the tail end of summer and already kinda threw too much $$ at it .. borla atak catback, changed the oil out, lowered it and paid for an alignment, zr1 extended spoiler and a cf rear diffuser replacement .. ahhh. kinda lickin my wounds on the $$ side of things, though I do want to order my wheels over the winter so that they'll be ready for spring.

I'd like to put a FAST and the Magnaflow shorty header on him while it rests for the winter. It all depends how much disposable income I will have.

My '66 and my wife's '13 427 will be sleeping the winter months away under covers in our heated garage. There was a time when I drove my Vettes all winter long, but those days are in the past. We can't wait for spring to pop the Corvettes and Harleys back into the sunshine.

Winter? Not familiar with the term! We drive year round and do Mods when we purchase them.
