Default Spring Mods List/Items...

So...for all of us up North, or anybody, for that matter, who have, or will be putting your Vettes away for the Winter, What are your Spring Mod plans, if any? I'll start:

1) Two new rear tires... (Michelin PS2 ZP)
2) Expel bra
3) Floor and Cargo mats
4) 60th Anniversary center caps
5) GS Fender Badges
6) License plate frame
7) Go Pro camera for the race track
8) Maybe some custom paint work (diffuser, A pillars, etc.)
9) HPDE Instruction

Nothing too radical, mainly appearance in nature...

Mine has been away for about 3 weeks already, haven't given much thought to mods, already did headers & off road pipe this summer that matches up well with my NPP exhaust. Definitely going to add headers to my 71' El Camino!

New TSW Nurburgring wheels... then some R888 rubber to turn my stock wheels into track wheels...

Tint the windows??

I'm getting pretty close to how I want it now... Oh yeah, I want a CF front splitter but choices are limited for base model... looking at c7Carbon for sure.

The HPDE will be the best mod you can buy. Mod the driver. I will bet a well trained HPDE driver in a stock C6 will smoke a not so well trained driver in a Z06. Any one out there have any experience with that scenerio?

That mod is about as simple as it gets, Mike. Start by driving to dealer with your car and 50k dollars. Hand dealer said cash and your car and drive home new 427. Could it get any easier?
