Your dreaming. There will be something else that will come out that you will have to have. There is no cure for the mod bug.

Great looking car. If you can quit modding, you're a better man than I.

Awesome car with those new wheels, that gives me an idea to change mine over too. Question? Where's your rear hatch emblem?

The only way you can be done modding is if you don't have it anymore.

Your Vette looks good. Good luck trying to keep yourself from doing more.

Your vette looks great with the painted top. I really like the look of the lighter colors with the painted roof panel!
