Where can I go to see what mods have been done to my car?
I have had my IROC for a year now and have only done minor things: belts and the dual-snorkel air cleaner. Do you know of a place I can go to see if previous owners have made modifications?

Thanks fer the tip
The previous owner had it for 2 - 3 years and drove it maybe 100 miles. The owner before put on a silly spoiler, not sure what else he did. From sitting so long probably everything underneath is rusty. I know at some point there was something like an alarm at least because of a switch under the dash that now goes no where. Sometime this spring I'll put her on ramps and crawl underneath and look for things like sub frame connectors and a different drive shaft. Just wondering if you knew of shops that would do this.

I will in the spring. Problem is I don't know what "looks stock". I guess I look for crap parts and assume "built by GM"
