Default Customizing??

With so many guys customizing their cars, I thought I would do the same. Does anyone know where I can get, curb feelers, fender skirts and a suicide ****? Not to over do it, but fuzzy dice would also be nice.

Since there was no smiley in the OP msg, I can only assume disapporval.
Enjoy your car OP and don't worry about how the rest of us enjoy ours, you'll be happier in the end.

Autozone for your curb feelers, Fender Skirt Depot for the ahhh fender skirts, and everyone knows you can get the suicide **** at Amazon.

Oh wait, you were kidding

Just about quitting time at work on the east coast and another couple hours on the west coast, I expect you shall be getting some interesting replies shortly.

That's a really, really funny post by the OP. He must be a humorist and dazzle his friends at parties.

Too many mods can have a negative result in your lap times!

I see all these modded cars on the forum, never see any on the street. Some mods look good others, well anyway. Mine is just like the day it was delivered, except the odometer has more numbers. Have fun!

I saw a pile of left over parts over at the chop shop. I'm sure they would be likely to help you out.

Why don't you take some of these parts off your old car and put them on your new one

Why worry about what others do to their car? It's not your money and if it makes them happy, then .

Every vette I have ever been in has had either a cam or a supercharger, save for that ZHZ I rented for a weekend once. Also, don't be a sanctimonious ***** about how other people spend their money.

I would also add that anyone who orders/buys a new Corvette with anything other than the base M7 1LT trim has modded their car to some degree. Unless you are a 100% purist, you really have no argument, IMHO.

Only cams and superchargers? Don't be a snobbish ***** about the cars you've been in!

There's one on Facebook someone has had striped up, and other stuff put all over it, that I find realllly distasteful. The rear end especially is beyond, well, just beyond imagination. I can't even think of a way to describe it. I'm following my momma's advice about simply not commenting on the pictures since I have nothing nice to say.
