Default First Mod! More to come

I ordered my C7 Z51 Coupe with exposed Carbon Fiiber Roof and OEM Carbon Dash. Just installed Carbon Fiber Center Console and Waterfall that I bought from Apsis. Next up Carbon Fiber front end Splitter and Side Skirts. Just trying to decide which ones to buy. Name:  img_6287_jpg.jpg

Nice! That's probably one of the mods I'm going to do, though the installation looks a little tricky. I'm thinking I might go whole hog when I do it though and do the sound deadening, MGW shifter and CF console all at the same time.

I just have this vision of me sitting with a pile of leftover parts that should've been somewhere, just not on my garage floor.

I'm with you! I had my dealer do it $150 bucks. Well worth the very likely chance that I would screw something up.

I really like that matte finish on the CF. Very well done.

Remember you never get the money back placed in mods.

Yeah well I also don't think any financial advisors would tell you that buying a corvette is a prudent thing to do. It's all for the fun of it.

Yeah! Who's says I'm selling it? If you're not selling it then you're not worried about getting money back...

I'm sure I'll sell it some day. If I were to sell it to a private buyer I might get a little extra for the mods, but I just like how they enhance the looks of this awesome car.

It is a great family car. Put the kids/dogs in the back, they have room to play (heck with car seats). Raise the body on the lowering bolts and you have a sport SUV. Doesn't get better than that!

That looks really good on your car.
