Default Just ordered my first mod!!

Okay I know this is probably not a big deal to alot of people here, but I ordered my first mod for the car!!! I noticed the thread by redlinegoods.com and decided I needed those boots!! I ordered a set of two-tone CF yellow and black boots along with the door pulls! The website says that the order will ship out on Friday, so I can't wait to receive it. Not sure how long it takes to ship but from looking at everyone else's on that thread it will be well worth the wait. Can wait to show everyone!

Mod's are like crack. The good thing is you will end up becoming a "mod head" instead of a crackhead!

You're on the slope, enjoy the ride.

Alex,

Congrats on your first mod! Now you need to move on to Lloyd floor mats, after market exhaust, cold air induction, and so on and so on.

BUT....BEWARE...Once the 'mod bug' bites, it is difficult to cure.

I've been bitten by the mod bug for about 5 years now LOL. I'm excited and can't wait to install the boots, hopefully it won't be that difficult. I just wanted to update the interior and have a more wow effect but nothing untasteful. I'll need to compliment them though with a auto shifter and Ebrake handle too. But I'll wait on those.

You're a red sox fan. I should come in the middle of the night when you get your mod, salute your new mod purchase, then rip your Vette engine out of your baby and replace it with a Civic DX 4-Banger.

Mod's are such a beautiful thing. Just make sure it never gets to the point of looking like a "Ricer". I have seen to many people take a great looking C5 and ruin it with crappy add on's.
