Default My very first mod

I just did my very first mod on tonight.

I went from this




To this:



Now I'm shopping for a better boot to match. I really don't like the way this is two toned.

I know right! The corvette "mod addiction" I think is worst then cigarettes or alcohol! Seriously! I mean who buys things for their cars when they really don't even need them. Or worst you can be like me and have the addiction taking over your life! You know you have it bad when you find yourself having to have corvette posters, signs, clothes, a custom "vette" garage, vette xmas ornaments, etc... I could go on forever. When you hear your significant other say that your home looks like a bachelor pad cause you have too much "vette" stuff in it....yeh you have it. My addiction runs really deep.

Its all good though....the "Corvette" will be branded in my blood forever and who knows....maybe a vette tattoo is in the future lol

Here's what I did with mine, just to give you some ideas. I love the yellow and black look but don't want the yellow to be overwhelming.
