2007 Mods Planned?
Since most of us are blessed with excessive compulsive behavior, what mods do you have planned for next year?
I'm planning on junking the 2.73s and getting something stiffer.

My only mod plans are black C6 Z06 wheels and the C6 Z06 brake upgrade. No more performance mods for me until the car is paid off.

Custom painting on some engine bay components, maybe new wheels, maybe some performance upgrades (headers and tune).

blackout everything (dark tint on windows, paint rims all black, blackout every light), custom stereo (front seperates, rears, sub, deck).
that is all providing when I get done with tuning after the latest mods I hit 390+ RWHP - otherwise it's time for a procharger...

I'm considering headers and a tune....maybe. I have about reached the end of the appearance mods path.

I have seen your "stock" car Tony....................very nice car for "stock"
My "stock" car is going to the same place as yours for some "stock" modifications.
I would list them, but I am not sure what all Nick (BlownZ06) has in store. I guess when he is done, I'll get a complete inventory and post up. Of course I am hoping the mods will be completed before'07 so I can spend next year enjoying as well as paying for them....

No mods planned, but I hope to drive my C5 more, and make extra payments on the wife's new ride so I'm closer to making payments on a C6.

The new ported LS6 heads, LPE cam, and headers are sitting on my work bench. I'll start tearing into things as soon as I buy the gaskets and hi flow cats.

Hopefully I'll be getting headers, more VE leather, and rims and tires. Maybe I can fit a cam in there somewhere too.

In order:
Complete my garage remodel project
Finish my Custom Stereo fabrication and install project
Add a Specter Werkes rear fascia
Rework and repaint my rocker panels
And if I get all of that done in 2007, I have some other things in mind.
