Default You all made me do it!

Well, I had to jump in... bought my first Vette, a 2004 Coupe. The car already had its first mod, Corsa Indy exhaust, so I had to keep going.

And as everyone always asks... here are the pictures of the first two weeks of ownership.

My first mod, window tint:



Second mod, Lloyd mats and steering wheel thing:



Third mod, Vararam plus power duct:



Next up.... plenty of unleaded premium....
