) Once, you start...you can't stop. Especially when you are doing bolt-on perfermance mods that you can actually feel after installation.

I do have a cyberdine graphics steering wheel emblem that I got from Southern Car Parts to put on. I have never clay barred anything, so I am thinking about doing that to see if it gives temporary relief to any of the symptoms I have.

I think we could all benefit from a 12 step program. Maybe "CMAA" (Corvette Modaholics Anonymous Association) But then we would probably get flack from the Country Music Awards people. Maybe throw yourself on the mercy of one of the Moderators and get him or her to "ban" you from the Forum to decrease the temptation. Let's see, 3rd mortgage the house, sell the Wife's cars, buy Lottery tickets "give me $5000 worth of Quick Picks please"

All I can say is that mod'ing your Vette is truely an addiction... at least for me. I already have the next 5 Mods mapped out. My only advice is to try to tell yourself that they should come over time, and they don't have to be all at once.

I am definitely not the person to ask---we paid off the car note with another note for more money so I could mod the outside of my car...Dis I forget to mention the new stereo, speakers, floor mats and window valet???
I agree---resistance is futile...
BTW---did I also mention ground effects, new top, new wheels and tires, new paint, complete blackout kit all around, new lettering, iPod and bluetooth compatible stereo??? Smiling all the way....

I've found the more time I spend on this forum the more I want to mod. It's hard to restrain yourself when you see everyone else doing such cool stuff and getting great power for this mod or that etc...
So basically you're screwed b/c you won't be able to keep off this forum either.

Take a portion of the money and do a mod or two. The rest can be used to do more practical things.

What happens if your state has Safety Inspections and the mods make your vette fail the inspection?
Here in Virginia, your car cannot have any non-factory modifications or it will FAIL. (and you cannot renew your tags)
