Default Do You Mod -Poll

Just wondering how many of us leave our car stock, and or what mods do feel comfortable doing. Moding for me is addictive

Interesting, I really am curious how many keep their C5, Stock. I just can't seem to leave it stock. I do not want to crack the motor open or loud headers, but the bolt ons, yes. I figure I can get it back to stock in a quick and short time.

so far i have just done bolt on mods because i dont want to have to beef up the drivetrain.

if i come into some cash, i will probably get the ECS kit installed or a lingenfelter 650 twin turbo package.

No performance mods here, but I've done a few appearance mods. I won't be seriously modding until my warranty runs out (which is a long time from now), but I still have a few things I would like to do though.

Yes, I mod. I started looking at this forum a loooong time before I got my vette so I already had a few things in mind when I finally got it. Purchased it in Dec. 04 and started modding in Jan or Feb of 05. You can see in my sig what I've done to date. It can be VERY addictive, or in my case it IS. My friends don't know quite what to think, but I'm having a blast fixing it up. I'd really like to get a head/cam pkg next, but I'm going to try to slow down a little now. That and save some more money for the next mod.
