Default LOVE MY NEW TOY,,, BUT NOW WHAT???

Got a 06 c2s with factory aero kit and sport upgraded wheels.

oem or added, carbon sils, carbon, center console, carbon window triangles on the all black leather interior, carbon trim, carbon shift and ebrake .. looks great

added evo airintake, giac flash and PSE

tinted windows & techart sideskirts to fomsh off the body lines.

painting the lower lip of the nose and read wing vane same color as the wheels ( graphite grey ) on white car..

What else is there to do ????

I have eliminated the H&R springs for clearance issues and i dont know of any valued added mods that are left that still maintain the intregrity of the car..

need you suggestions....

tks

Take it to the track regularly and thrash the life out of it. Turn it into a track *****.

I've just gotten married. I've changed the way my wife dresses, does her hair, and payed for all kinds of plastic surgery and speech lessons. What do I do now? Unbelievable.

Get some kids, a couple houses, a second wife, a girlfriend, and a few more hot cars.

Or just drive what you modded for a few months, take a massive dep. hit and buy a Turbo where the HP is more of an issue.

They are finishing up my SC install today. As far as warr issues, you have to get the dealer on your side. There is one way to do that and I know you can all guess it correctly.

I'll give a full report when we're finished. Photos and other mods to come.

The great thing about this car is how much there is to do with it.
