$500 Upgrading to stainless steel brakelines, speed bleeders, HP+ Brake Pads, and a few bottles of DoT4.

$800 in Clear Bra + Splash guards.

Nothing better than feeling comfortable that I can stop on the roadcourses.

With about 40 posts we're already around 300 grand in mods. That's on average about 7500 per vette.

Very interesting and I'm sure there are a lot more OP's that haven't posted yet. I hope before we're done we have at least 100 members that have posted.......

My spreadsheet tells me about $14,000 so far. I have included parts, labour, & tuning (LOTS of little parts). I still have a wish list that will potentially add another $10,000. I haven't made up my mind on the ProCharger yet.

Default Spending $$$$$ Will it stop ? Probably Not !

Well I got my 2007 C6 8-29-07 and from that point to 1-08 I spent
$4000.00 give or take, Dang Anyway I've mellowed out a bit until I find the rims I want, then $$$$$$$ here we go again

I guess it's okay, we only live once and why not get what we want, because if we don't do it now, when will it get done and why wait ?

Enjoy life, spoil yourself, spoil you car.

It always needs a new Mod No matter what it is.

Since everything has been done at local tuners (much more than I'm able to list in profile) I'm well into $31k.

No way will I dare say. If I did, I'm sure Murphy's law would prevail and my wife would see it! Sorry.

Lets see now:

2008 ZO6
Halltech Intake
Kooks Headers & X-pipe
Corsa Exhaust
HRE wheels
Pfadt coilovers & sway bars
Brenbo brakes
DSVettes door panels, steering wheel, visors, console, shift and hand brake boot and handle
ABEAR valve covers

and I don't have a clue as to what that all adds up to, but I'm sure its more than $100.

If I have to itemize then I might realize I spend too much money on my car. Therefore, I don't count the receipt bills unless the IRS asks me to .
