Default Mod fever, PArt Deux!

I always promised myself if I got the vette, I'd be happy with its performance. I got the car in August '03, and had a BLAST over the summer.
OVer the winter, well, I had to cahange the tires-- why not some spiffy red z06 calipers an cross-drilled and slotted rotors? a few phone calls and a visit to GMpartsdirect and sportbrakes.com, and I was on my way...
and then, I LOVED the sound of my car (I know I'm in the minority on this one), but wanted just a bit more sound.. would'nt a set of z06 TI exhaust be great? A few ims on the parts forum, and I was good to go.
And oh yeah... if I'm going on all these long road trips, shouldn't the car have XM radio?!?!?! Delphi skifi, a pi adapter, and a profit mount filled this order...

These mods have lasted me through the summer, but the bug has hit me again....

I just got off the phone with Carman from Vettedoctors, and have finalized my next set of mods--- Vararam intake, kooks stainless headers, kooks hi-flow cat converters, kooks x-pipe, and an ls-1 tune.
Oh, and a nice new Kirban shifter ...

While everything is apart, to round out the mods, Carman will be installing my redline parts leather shift and e-brake boot. I'll throw on the leather door handle covers when I get the car back.

now.. I wonder what I'll do NEXT year... and how long these mods will last ...

Nice mods you have installed or are planning to buy. Once the fever starts, it is hard to get over it.
