Default First mod is complete
Not exactly a toughie but I removed the chiclets.

Next up is painting the calipers, splash guards and a body colored license plate frame.

Haven't worked up the ballz yet to remove the airbag warnings from the sunvisors though.

Aw, you know I wasn't giving you a hard time. Keep us posted. Without medication, the modaholic fever gets progressively worse and continues to empty your pockets of cash at an alarming rate.

There is no known cure for the dreaded "Mod Feaver". The only known treatment is to spend $$$$ on trying to find a cure. There are many Mod Feaver specialists here on the Forum. You have our support in the fight against your illness.

I feel sorry for that beautiful classic car. I bet she's screaming DON'T DO THIS TO ME!

Later when folks look at her they will be looking for just those things your removing for a quality car.

Oh well it's your car so have a ball its just a Corvette!
