Default Mod Fever. Somebody help me please!

'Owning a Corvette can be hazardous to your health! :crazy: '
Well, as least your wallet. I have mod fever bad and I need to get over it. Car is in the shop this week having my final mechanical upgrade. Next week, it's to the body shop for the cosmetics. I am seriously hooked and have to stop -- must stop, must stop :crazy:
Mods as of end of next week: Cartek Stage II H/C. Z06 intake, Yella Terra rockers, DR timing chain, MAF, TB, twin K&Ns, BBK headers, Corsa X-pipe, corsa touring, cartek clutch, hurst shifter, 4:10 rears, Wilwood rotors, painted caliper, Goodrich brake lines, Z06 pads, DRM brake spring, DRM hood, SW rear fascia, C5R headlamps w. HID, PIA1100, Z06 screens, Wet okole, Pioneer stereo, Dynaudio speaker, 12" Alumipro sub, 800W amp, XM radio.
No more ideas, please :banghead:

Another one has joined the fold.....

You're doomed, just like the rest of us.

Today marks my one year C5 ownership anniversary, and within that time I have spent 1/2 of the purchase price on modifications :eek:

There is no cure and there is always one more drink I mean mod--and there are not even any recoving modaholics they are all still active, after all the crap I went through with the H/C setup, all the suspension, clutch, brakes, hood, spoiler shifter etc, then I had to have a blower on top of that, then more after market wheels and tires to help with traction (nada) now I've had it with that and currently waiting for the 436 stroker to arrive so I can swap it out, you are a dead man like the rest of us, and congrads by the way you are damn sure off to a great start---Bill
