I have put quite a bit of thought into this, and No, as it stands I won't be doing anything to it.
I am trying to look back on Iconic cars.... though its a movie car, just think about the Y82 1977 smokey and the bandit car for a moment. There is nothing that one could do to this car to make it look better than its stock trim and wheels. The car is Iconic. The IROC Z is Iconic....the original 1969 Z-28 is Iconic.... The list goes on and on, but for these "Iconic cars" there is really nothing one can do to these cars to make them look better, let alone depreciate the cars value. So with that being said, this release of the ZL1 will be no doubt one of those ICONIC cars in future history. Mine is staying in its original ICONIC trim and wheels. Again, this is for me. If you want to mod your ZL1 by all means its your car.. Go for it!....

I think this response goes further into the reasoning behind the thread I believe you started yesterday with the GT350. You don't want to mod' the car, so you want the best you can get; I
think I'm getting a better picture

Yeah - good thing I'll run out of money before things get too out of hand, LOL!!! Most of my plans are just going to be making the performance foundation as functional and effective as possible. There's no doubt GM's giving us a great car (let alone the greatness it's already given us since '09), and I know I'm rarely going to be able to use the car near it's potential, so I figure grabbing the "low hanging fruit" would make the most of my money while keeping the car as reliable as I expect it will be; maybe even moreso.
