Default I've Got The Mod-Bug!!!

Hey CF,

I've got a serious case of the mod-bug... Anyone else got symptoms of this going around?

Here is my car a few months ago:



Here she is after some C6 Z06 Deep Dish wheels from JWMotoring; thanks Jhonathan for the outstanding product, they really compliment my car! I like...





If this wasn't enough, I decided I liked the SLP Spoiler and needed on too!!! What you guys think???

About time you posted pics of it with the wheels.

Yes it is a disease with no known cure. There will never be a cure.

Prepare yourself. Your bank account will be lighter and you will
never finish your project. Just one more mod that's what you
will be telling yourself. When you put a pile of money into a
late model vette, do not say, I could of bought a new ZO-6
with the money I spent.
Remember it's only a ho...bb..y....

I agree! I installed my HID fogs earlier this spring and then grabbed my handy Torx #15 and adjusted them. They now act like mini-headlights perfect for driving at dusk. Funny, because when I installed them, I never realized the housings were so off because the stock halogens were so weak.

Thanks guys!

Yeah, I wish I could afford a supercharger....that would be sweet!!! I know the stock lighting on these car suck, I need to do something about my headlights and my fogs.

I'm sure I'll be contacting you sometime JW...

Keep on spending, maybe you can chase the bug away! I've got a bad case of it, too. Stuff is piling up in my garage...new calipers, new rotors, new ceramic pads, and new chrome spyders on order. As soon as the wheels arrive everything's going on. I'm going to drop more $$ on new tire pressure monitors while I'm at it.

Beautiful looking car you've got there!

My wife is bitching at me as I type. "I hope your not buying anything else for that damn car again" she says. I just can't help myself.
