Default Gals doing mods

How many female owners out there do their own mods? And to what extent?

I have only done the CLB and now going to start some performance stuff....

Well forum member ERND IT does her own mods... Violater helped a bit with installing the new Powerslot rotors & Hawk pads. They also installed a Blackwing too.

Nothing requiring tools for me!

I put my interior decal letters on and front and rear letters on - does that count?

Edit: Oh yeah - I painted C5 emblems on my wheel caps! Paint brushes don't count as tools!

I pretty much do all of my own mods on my car as well, with the exception of the "Muscle" stuff. but, once the hubby breaks those bolts loose, I am good to go.

As a matter of fact, it is me who has the UPS driver to the house all the time.

Typical scenario:

Order part, UPS delivers part, hubby comes home and sees part on doorstep, asks me WTH I just ordered, I tell him Corvette Stuff, I open package, take package to garage, hubby says, "We will install that tomorrow", I get home before hubby next day, I change clothes, go to garage and begin install, hubby gets home, gets mad I already did it, he quits b^tching and tightens bolts for me. lol, then he hops in pax side and we go test the new goody.

I have no problems getting dirty with my car! *And you can take that anyway you want*

Me too. In fact I would be agreeable to a long-term mod-relationship.

Or, a meaningful overnight relationship if it's an easy mod.
