Default Its an addiction

I bought my Corvette 14 months ago, liking it the way it looked,I was happy. Then I thought, must fix that oil pressure sender, I fixed it, now its all perfect, then decided new seat skins, got them, car is perfect but could use new console cover, got it, looks perfect, could use steering wheel emblem, got it, now its perfect. Could use Pioneer HU and new speakers, got it, could use LED bulbs and new signal housing and may as well get the harness, now its perfect. Exhaust to loud, bought stock, now its perfect.I am now thinking new wheels will make it perfect!!! It never stops. But man the high I get when I drive it is worth the cost!!! Its a Corvette Buzz!!!!

Hi. I'm Roger and I'm a Corvette addict!
It all started 2 years, 1 month, and 16 days ago.
My latest "fix" was this past weekend. Put in heat barrier and ensolite. It is nice. I realize I have a little wind noise around the passenger side hatch. I'm real curious to feel the difference when we hit a really not day after a little drive and see what the difference is in the console, floorboards, and back cargo.
Lovin it.

Remember to wave at the other addicts

My name is Sean and I am an addict

My last mod was about an hour ago. I installed new Pioneer HU from DoubleDMods and new carbon fiber emblem overlays. As I sit here waiting for my new custom leather seat skins and Johnny O'Connel Stage1 Suspension upgrade to arrive.....I can't help but think about how I want to MOD next!

Yes....My name is Sean and I am an addict

734 RWHP for me and I "THINK" it's perfect! Not...... it will never stop man, never!

Just accept it and keep modding, keep asking for Forgiveness and "NOT" permission!

Thanks,Matt

Default console cover?

I got a taste of the mod...just a simple colored steering wheel decal...now i'm a full blown crackhead. Where does one find the console covers. My vert is Mag Red and a matching console would look pretty sweet. OK, gotta go hit the pipe again (fedex is coming today)
