Well, I've heard that if it flys, f..cks or floats, rent it. It's cheaper in the long run. I tend to believe that too.

Yep, which is why I can't afford a new C7Z. I have to settle with my C5Z and the expensive passenger seat mod.

This is one mod I don't see offered from any of our vendors and there's infinite reasons why...

The headlight mods are a lot more expensive on that model than on a corvette....

So if I were to get this mod, would it increase the value of my car when I sell it, or should I de-mod first?

Damage to that mod is hard to repair and there are no replacement parts that will ever make it look original again. Does not age nearly as well as the car it is attached to either and the sound it creates when low on fuel($$$$$) is hideous!!!!😳
