The Mod Sickness!!
I have got the mod bug BAD!!!
I couldn't even finish one mod without buying another. I am working on my Pioneer AVIC-D3 double-din installation (I already bought the head unit, just waiting on the console, and radio bezel from C5 KIDD), I just couldnt wait to buy Chrome seat back hoops (pictures tomorrow hopefully). They came out great. But I really do think that I have a serious problem!
Here is a list of my mods that I have done since the beginning of this year:
Borla quad tip stingers
K&N FIPK
WCC X-Pipe
4.10 gears
Chrome seat back hoops
160 degree thermostat
Hurst short throw shifter
Chrome sill plates
billiard style shift ****
C6Z replicas in C5 sizes
Kumho tires all around
conter console cushion
rear corvette letter
front corvette letters
Front Z06 screens
side screens
Exhaust plate
steering wheel decal
Passenger airbag lettering
Painted front fascia
painted passenger rear section
Ipod2Car
Chrome license plate surround
Mods not installed but purchased:
Pioneer AVIC-D3
Modified radio bezel from C5KIDD on order (Gloss Black)
Painted center console from C5KIDD on order (Gloss Black)
I'm sure I'm forgetting a few things....
And its my daily driver with nearly 100,000 miles on it!!!

I'm failing to see the problem here. Am I missing something? Sounds like normal behavior to me. But what do I know, those little mod voices keep ringing in my ears too.

My wife has threatened to kill me if I don't quit. She also told me to get a job. I have had my c-5 for a year now & off the top of my head, here is the stuff I have done.
Z-06 chromies
Kuhmos all around
corsa pacecars
chrome letters front & back
chrome emblems front & back
Chrome waterfall emblem
chrome side spears
chrome door sills
CEC chrome plenum cover
GM bra
Mirror covers
Chrome billet grills
Lloyd's mats
Exhaust plate
Chrome license plate frame
painted FRC with chrome letters (diy)
painted radiator cover (diy)
painted surge tank (diy)
painted washer tank (diy)
twin cone intake SS
Zaino "system" just for the vette
chrome valve stem caps
painted calipers (diy)
Not installed yet:
HUD system
drilled & slotted rotors
After listing all this stuff, I realize that I am MAD. I know that I will never recover my cost but I will also keep this car for a good 5-10 years. (that is what I keep telling my wife)
I'll bet that if some of you list all the "stuff" you put on your vette you will also concider yourself MAD..........
NOS500...........there is no cure either.........I am so glad I am not the only one.

The only way to end the sickness is to buy every mod on the market and install it on your car or.... run out of money before that can happen.

Your first step is to recognize that you have a problem...
Start with this sentence.
Hello, my name is (insert name)...and I'm a MODAHOLIC...
I'd say that we're here to help, but we probably just aggrevate condition
