My car is in so many pieces right now.... waiting for chrome plating, upgrades, delivery trucks and paint shop work, I wonder if I'll ever get it all back together by Spring!

Everybody keep your fingers crossed for me. I'll post pics as soon as everything is done.

I personally don't have a problem. I bought my vert in Fla., got back at 2am in NC.

By 8:30am (I had to drive a half hour into my shop) I had the exhaust off and installed my Borla system and vararam intake. (I had them sitting there waiting for my baby to come home with me)

I promised my friends that this was just a daily driver and I wasn't going to mod her, I'd drive her stock.

That was about 4 months ago.

Since then, I've...

- replaced the carpet throughout
- sound deadened the interior
- lowered the rear
- flushmount taillights
- ACI hood
- Maggie supercharger
- Carravaglio hood
- Another maggie supercharger

Nope, I ain't got a problem. I'm glad I can still see that... some people can't see they have a problem.

Mark
- replaced the rear wheels with wider ones, put new Pilot sportII's on it, Z06 scree

One thing I have found is that the meetings just don't seem to help. I just keep on adding new things to the car. This is a serious addiction.

These cars are funny, even the smallest appearance mod (airbridge decal etc.) just leaves you wanting more. You immediately begin looking for the next "fix"
