It's All Original Only Once

Mine will be modded within 5 minutes of getting it home the first time.
These are not collectors cars, so no use in keeping them stock unless you just don't have the desire to mod.

Coming from my previous life as a member of the NCRS when I had my 68, I am somewhat programmed to keep a car stock. No mods for me,

You and I have something in common. I had a pile of stuff before my car arrived to. Nothing major but I had the FAY carbon fiber dash, exhaust filler panel, splash guards, di-noc to hide the chrome strip, CAGS delete and a few other things. Less than 24 hours after receiving my car I lowered all the way on the stock bolts. Since then, I added a stealth K40 radar system, my carbon fiber dash, a stinger stripe, window tint, carbon flash front and rear painted emblems, and a couple other minor things. Now I am waiting for my splitter and side skirts to come in the next few weeks. God only knows what will be next. I'd like a Halltech intake and a set of headers too!

Your car was my inspiration...LOL
I bought the dash, mud flaps, LT2 Leather trim pieces, and jack pucks. I even used the dealer you recommended for parts Fitchner, they gave me a hell of deal for everything like $700.
I am tinting it and XPEL the first day as well and they are prepping it for me with the stock bolts lowering it...
I also am just picking out which headers I want.

Maybe in 100 years it will be a collector item. ha

I am one of those who leaves it pretty much the way it comes from the factory. I did add the GM accessory cargo shade (2 pc.) and cargo net. I also added the C7 partition. Pretty much done!

I bought exactly what I wanted and I'm happy with it in stock form. I understand the need for some people to personalize their possessions. It transforms a production vehicle into a custom vehicle and is an expression of their individuality. Perhaps some of us are just less creative and fully appreciate the creativity of the original designers of our vehicles.
We all love our Vette's.

"Original only once" only matters on a collector car.
Trust me, chances are we'll all be long gone before a C7 is considered a collector car

I'm doing a few minor mods, but anything I do can easily be put back to original if I ever needed it. As someone said, we'll all be long gone before this car is a collector's item. Unless all of you want to lose your C7s so that mine is the only one left.....

Still on order. Have splash guards, permanent pucks and some Cleartastic waiting for the car. Then Xpel.
Have no true mods in minds, I want to keep the warranty. I WOULD love for GM to bump the HP in the form of a dealer flash to the engine controller that kept the engine warranty in intact. Don
