Isn't she already lowered? I'm having a hard enough time as it is now trying not to scrape her going in and out of driveways
I just assumed she already has gone down.

Here's a couple of ideas on how to get started on mods.

1. Visit the Pacific section on this forum and look for some local events. The best way to check out mods is to see them in person...especially exhausts cause you can hear 'em up close and personal. You'll also find that Vette people are very willing to help people spend money on their cars. Here's a link to the Pacific section:

Link to Corvette Forum Pacific Forum

2. Give one of the supporting tuners a call and tell them you want to come by sometime to check out the shop and talk about plans for some future mods. They'll most likely have a few cars at the shop you can check out. Also, its a good idea to build a relationship with a shop to make sure you're comfortable with them before you throw down your hard earned $. Here's a link to a couple of well-respected shops in your area:

Have fun!

She's got the reputation of being a bit of a fast girl and would have let you take her top off on the first date you know...

Don't spoil her too soon with gifts & mods she may only love you for your wallet if you don't get to know each other first. These good looking trophy gals can be high maintenance.

I saw how you two were looking at each other.

Now you have to buy her presents to let her know how much you love her. I wouldn't let the wife know.
