Modding and Re-Modding.
Sometimes, a mod isn't good enough the first time or something better comes along to replace it. I myself find myself re-modding a few things now and then and i'm curious what you guys have re-modded
In case you're wondering:
Headlights: version 6
Foglights: Version 3
Wheels: 3rd set
Sound system: lost count

Hmm, the only thing I repeatedly changed would be the shift **** / lever. I tried multiple aftermarket ones, disliked all of them. Finally settled on the C6Z setup and never looked back!

I think the only "re-mods" I've done so far is:
-intake manifold cover; went from silver to chrome,
-brake calipers; went to black and then to electron blue
-foglight screens; went from the cheaper flat Ebay types to the nice Racemesh ones.
-inprocess of going from a wheelskin steering wheel cover to a DSV D-shaped steering wheel

I think the only thing I've ever "remodded" was I went to an aftermarket shift ****, then back to stock.

I've switched the taillights and wheels around a few times on my cars. Like you said, something new comes out and provides for a fresh look.
