Three more months to go........
untill I can pull the covers off and take the car out of winter storage. 
So in the mean time to amuse myself I've been thinking about what mods I want to do in the spring. So far I've come up with:
1. Z51 Sways/Pfadt bushings/metal end links
2. C6Z06 Shocks
3. Tunnel Plate
4. Trans cooler/oil cooler/Thermostat
5. CAI/GHL Exhaust/Tune
Would love to do wheels/tires but I'm not sure the budget will allow that.
When it does allow I'm looking at Forgestar F14's 18X9 and 19X11 in Gunmetal with 275/35/18 and 325/30/19 Nitto Invo's. Hopefully with the correct offsets I can get these under the stock fenders because I really don't want to do a widebody conversion.
So lets hear what mods you have planned for your Vette in the spring???

Planning to do these before I take the car out of storage in the spring:
- install new custom C5 emblems front and rear
- paint and install body colored wiper cowl
- (Hopefully) purchase a custom painted hood insulation blanket
- install LED lights in the cove area that are tied into the turn signals.

You said it... Got 10" of snow Wed night into thursday, got 4-5 more coming tomorrow morning. It sucks. Last year, I don't think we got 5 inches of snow, in total. Mildest winter I ever recall. Something tells me we're gonna make up for it this year.
I have a HUD that I still have not installed. I should get on that soon. Other than that, I think it'll get tires in the spring, and... that's about it, lest something breaks on it. :fingers crossed:
