I've got quite a list planned. First must be tint, if that can be considered a "mod."

EDIT: My first mod will be "pay off the balance on my credit card" before I start blowing cash on unnecessary luxuries.

Well, laconiajack said any mod I do to my car is silly and a waste of time and money anyway, so, I have to do as I'm told...

I am currently in possession of a 2009 Z06 tranny. I hope to find a matching differential to install, along with the tranny, this year. My ProCharged 2005 puts down a conservative 550 whp, and I fear the differential will grenade if I attempt to use this power through the stock, pos differential in 1st or 2nd gear.

Apparently you were considering mods that were, in my opinion, a waste of money, and my opinion upset you. But really son, you have my permission to do whatever you want. It's your car and your money, so enjoy.

None. Supercharger, stereo, floor mats, emblem cover for the console, done. She's perfect.

This may be true if I'd asked for it, but I appreciate the green light to get started on customizing my toy. Perhaps you're not such a stick in the mud after all. Jury is still out.

That being said, I'm ditching these run flats asap. They might as well be made of glass for all the traction they provide.

My latest Vette is about a month and a half old, just over 600 miles on the ticker. First on the list is 20% tint, followed by black chrome wheels, and a Corsa Sport exhaust.
