my first mod--maybe?
Made first mod to my bone stock 95 this afternoon. Cargo curtain clips were broken. Rather than replacing them with OEM clips I pulled them off, modified them with little black plastic and glue, and put them back on. Does that mean I can no longer say my vette is all bone stock original? ps--can't see any difference at all in my 1/4 times.

you should have shaved off at least a 1/10th in the quarter 
And yes, you have sucessfully defiled your vette, it is no longer stock and have now become an outcast.

I think the added weight of the glue and plastic may adversely affect your 1/4 times.

You've modified your car now and cut it's value at least in half. God, what were you thinking?!!!
