Default My first Mods

Today I ordered my first mods for my 2000 pewter vert. They include painted calipers, drilled and slotted rotors with silver paint, ceramic brake pads, Z06 screens, chrome lug nuts, and a corsa Indy exhaust with pro tips. Also I am getting the car lowered 1.5". These are my first mods, but certainly not my last. It is all I can afford at 16 years old.

I feel sorry for you son, I'm 52 and I have spent my whole life to looking forward to the day that I could get my first corvette. Here your 16 and you have a corvette already, what do you have to live for? Just kidding, take care of it because when you start dating you won't have any money left for mods or anything.
