Default How do you guys stop

How in the world do you guys stop doing mods i thought after putting in the console cover two weeks ago and the new chrome cowl and the wheel skin that was all for me but after seeing all the guys nice seat covers had to get some.If it's not chrome parts it's other parts i don't think you can ever stop doing mods on the car.At least i won't get fun made at me from the guys on the forum who made fun of my sheepskin seat covers in the post i did where i had a picture of my new console cover and you know who you are but i am not mad i am very easy going. charlene

When the 'D' word came up (divorce) I began to re-think my priorities, or at least go stealth with the mods.

I sorta stopped when my maintenance budget for my fleet increased as they aged and the price of gas hit $3 a gallon...

Good thing I did all my mods already!

I've found that I don't stop the mods. The mods purchase just slow down now & then; funny… that tempo usually coincide with my $$$$ in the old wallet

It is easy...sell the car. Then after taking a bath you think.....wow I lost all my mod money and someone else has a nice car on my dime. Then you will rethink it next time.
I love it and I love modded custom cars but you never ever get back what you have in it.
I dont think I would ever do it again with a Vette....they just dont hold value very well nomatter how nice they are

It's been 19 months since I bought Grond, and I do not see an end in sight for mods. I'll stop when I run out money, I guess....
