Default Going broke!

Thought I would be fine with a stock GS but after reading these threads, I have purchased/ordered the following:

1. Borla x pipe - installed
2. Tinted Windows - installed
3. LED lights for trunk and license plate - installed
4. Jacking pucks - installed
5. Low profile jack and jack stands - purchased
6. Pinnacle Ceramic Coating and other various detailing products - ordered
7. MGW shifter - Black Que Ball and Flat Grey Stick - ordered
8. Vitesse Throttle Controller - ordered
9. PowerStop Z26 Ceramic Brake Pads - ordered

I can't stop spending! Lord help me! But this GS is so damn fun to drive! First vette and dream car!

10. Supercharger - One day

Please don't tell me there is something else I need to purchase to make my baby complete! It's like Christmas everyday!

Looks good! For fun a while back I put footwell and cup holder lights in to add some color to the cockpit. I went a little further to add ambient lighting while I'm driving, but the footwell lights are pretty cheap, easy and you still have overhead white lighting so you can see:

Very similar list for me. Just picked up a brand new Z51. But Corsa midpipe and Crystalline tint. Are you going to apply the Pinnacle yourself? Also, how much was the throttle controller? I see a lot of people talking about it on the forums but never saw a thread on it.

Yes, I plan on applying the Pinnacle myself. The throttle controller was 180 plus shipping (6.00). I have read a lot of reviews and a must have with the MGW shifter. Figured, since I have the center console out I will add the throttle controller. And congrats!

Hmm, I have over 25 mods on my 2014 in three years, will have to start all over in my planned GS when I sell this one early next year!

The list seems endless on what you can do in terms of mods. Two that come to mind right away are side skirts and a front splitter. Both look great on the C7. Welcome to the world of modding.
