Default My first mod

Nothing major, just installed the screw set I received from Chip. But, it is my first mod on my 2004. What next? Window tint scheduled for Tuesday, then exhaust, then....... Better have my credit limit raised on the old Visa. Merchants beware!

Looks good. Be careful with those mods. They can go out of hand very quickly

Crap. All done. Did the hatch screw set, gas filler screws, doors and under the hood. I'm all screwed out.

Now I have time to hit the internet and see what else is available.

Come on Drews, quit screwing around and start cleaning for the cruisein at Coits tomorrow night. I just finished detailing out my underhood mat and mounting my new large C5 emblem where the indentation is. Coooooooooooool.

I started out with the intent of just a mod or two that weren't going to cost an arm and a leg.

Now for what I have planned I need about this much:
