New to forum, but not to vettes. Recently purchased my 3rd, a torch red 98 coupe. Previously owned a red 90, and a midnight blue 99. Boy is this a great car or what. And this is a great forum! I look forward to participating as a member as i have already developed a severe case of mod fever and it looks you guys have done it all.

So what are the first planned mods?

I highly recommend the logo valve stem caps for your wheels, a high performance hood seal, and a magnetic drain plug. Don't forget the color keyed floor mats, a license plate frame and removing the BSM's if you have them. Hey - you wanna fit in don'cha?

Thanks for the welcome. Already added Corsa tips and tail light seals (i know, childs play compared to what you guys are up to). Next is the glass roof cause they look so especially on torch red. Also want to lower it just a smidgeon and then start saving for wheels. Have my eye on CCW SP20A but haven't seen a picture of them on torch red. THen there's custom painted fuel rail covers, then there's.........will it ever stop ?
