Default First Mod - complete

Okay, technically, it was second behind the High-Performance Hood Seal, but I installed the Halltech Stinger tonight. Now I just need a nice day to take it for a spin.

Got a long list of stuff to do behind this. Here's to a productive mod season (aka winter).

Great second mod. This is the time of year for modding. What else do you have planned for the car?

Now, you made me want to do the High-Performance Hood Seal mod on my Vette. How much HP boost can you get out of that? LOL I can't wait for that one...

Well, I already have a pile of stuff in the garage waiting to go on.

The next thing I actually am going to do is to fix the gas door that I stepped into (and bent) while getting gas a while back (am I the only person to have done this?).

But the mod list includes (but is not limited to):

LGM LT Headers
VNM Backbone
Sportbrakes D&S rotors
Paint the calipers
Bilstien shocks
Hotchki Swaybars
Hurst Shifter
CLB
Wire the radio for the iPod
CE Stripes
Exhaust Plate

This should keep me busy for a while.
