Default MOD bug bites

Well today I broke down and ordered the parts off the top of my head that I wanted. There will be more but I need to do some investigation first. Anyways a quick call to corvette garage and I was set. I ordered the following:
1 set ZO6 C6 sized chrome wheels
1-4 skip shift eliminator
Callaway air intake
GM bra(wanted the body color one but wife said no $500 bras)

That was it for now. I will get exhaust but I want to hear some different ones first. I also ordered the new shift/park brake boots black w/yellow piping. I really like this vette modding there is almost as much aftermarket for it as there was my mustang. But I promise no curb feelers or anything like that .
Thanks for everyone's input about the wheels.
Chris

Its tuff not to 'mod', the desire is so strong.
Its good to think it over 1st, so you won't be selling them in the parts section a month from now.
