Modding is an art/craft/hobby :D I've always enjoyed customizing my cars a little bit. As I stated earlier I have made mistakes , but learned from them on my C6 for the most part.
Modding comes down to what a great deal of other things do in life and that is $$$$$ As the saying goes, you gotta pay to play. Some are happy stock, and some are not. To each his own. No right or wrong answer over all, its what works best for you and your car and are you happy with it. |

No. I did make a few mods on my 06 MR vert that were not up to what I expected...ie MR console and guage pods.
My 07 is perfect for me , love every mod. Only problem I have had was buying the dual tops. Tried to use the clear top in spring. Temp went to 100 that day and the inside of the car had to be 180. Burned my arm on seatbelt buckel. Sold the clear top the next week and have had 0 regrets. Just too darn hot down here for the cleat top. |
Yes B&B Bullets. Lasted 4 months. Killer drone!
|
I put under-drive pullys on a Vette once........ Terrible idea; no real improvement in performance, and a continuing problem with under charged batteries! Never again!

B & B Bullets. Loved the "music" but the drone after a long trip was unbearable. Went back to stock.

For me, probably opting not to get mufflers put back on when I had to redo the exhaust. Not because of the sound but because of trying to get a VA state inspection sticker. I was just trying to save some money.

I had Bullets on my '04 and loved them.
Bought an '06 Convertible. They lasted a week. Cost me $3-400 by the time I pulled them off and went back to stock. In the '11, I have NPP and M2W...love it! |
I removed the carpets and had the luggage compartment Rhino Lined, so it would be easier to hose out the mud. My neighbor thinks I made a mistake.

Flowmasters were the only mistake I've made. Fixed it with npp's.

HRE rims for my 08 coupe. I changed to Z51 sways, Bilstein Sports, and Z06 springs. Couldn't stop the rubbing. Couldn't decide on new rims because they were pretty stylish, so bought a Z06.

Amen. Most that mod their cars or have them "tuned" are too emarassed to admit to their foolishness, or too numb to recognize they caused their own problems, and at great expense. I especially enjoy people who soup up their engine, blow a connecting rod, and then say "the LS3 has weak connecting rods". :willy:

I was one of those fools that went balls to the wall and shot for 1k HP. What a joke. I had it made with my stock z and STS twins but noooooooooooooooo. I forged n stroked, went Ysi supercharged, tranny/dif upgrades, Meth, P&P heads, ported intake and tuned. Drove it maybe 5 hours and the valve tip broke off. I was a fool....all regrets.
