This weeks mods, all easy stuff. I can see this getting out of hand. Someone please help me. I'm having trouble stopping! My name is Dan, and I'm a modaholic. I think thats a good thing!

GCA Splashguards from my local dealer & side cove screens from Mid America

Valve stem caps from Mid America


Its been one year this week since We took delivery of of our new 2007 coupe. My wife and I decided on the 07 because of Lemans Blue being discontinued. We have never regretted this decision, even with the 08's having the LS3. My problem; I can't stop buying stuff for this car! For some reason this was not a problem with the C5 (02 MY Coupe) this car replaced.

Looks good, I wish I had the z51 package. I bet people may confuse your new badge with a Zr1.

Looks good, nice caps too.

Thanks. I am very happy with them. My wife suggested the side cove screens after seeing them on another car. I can't believe how much I like them.

Very nice mods, now Hi my name is HawaiiC6 and I am an addict. So welcome to Modaholics Anonymous and there is no cure for modding.

Let see for this weekend, I can install my Yella Terra roller rockers for an additional 25 hp, my steel braided hoses for some under hood bling and I just ordered RPI Designs, driving light blackout kit which will compliment my rear tail light and sidemarker blackouts.

Your latest mods look great! The GCA splash guards really add a nice subtle touch.

I just ordered the side coves screens myself -- my boyfriend also saw them on another vette and said he liked them. Note, this is the guy who is not into cars at all (they're just there to get you from a to b) ... I think he maybe has caught some of the mod fever from me after all.

I have the valve stem caps on my tires too. I wouldn't think that someone would steal them ... they would have to look very closely to see that the valve stem caps look "special" enough to steal.

Ha ha ha .. I've heard that before. The first step is to admit it...

Hi, my name is Cindy ... and I have mod fever ... and am proud of it. So many mods waiting to be completed ... so little time.
Well, there is always winter here in good 'ol Minnesota -- I'll have plenty of time on my hands for a few months while "luvy" sits in the garage, patiently asleep for the winter.
