Default Damn Corvettes are haunting me again!

So My buddy Dennis, hardest working man I know, finally realized his dream and bought a 2002 Red Z06 w/black interior... He's always been a Vette fan from the sidelines, but now he's jumped in the deep end of the pool... Couple things he would like to address are:

Headers/cats/Xpipe
Seats - What seats do you folks recommend for daily driver, but that can be used also for track days?
I'm gonna get him some DRM Brake duct extenders, and pass along my old track day brake pads to him as well, if I can find them...
CAI
Speed Bleeders
Harness Bar Camera mount and harnesses
He'll eventually upgrade his Z06 wheels to something Bling-ish for the street, and lace up some slicks on the Z06 wheels when ready!

And guess who gets to install all this "stuff"? We're trading parts and labor (Mine) and his labor towads building the extension on my shop... I think it's a fair trade to get the foundation/slab done!

Speed bleeders are a must. I actually just bought a power motive pressure bleeder as well, because AU N EGL is always promoting them... I wonder if he has stock in the company or something... Anyway it hasn't come yet.

Sounds like you know what you are doing already, but in case you are interested, I did a write up on installing the brake duct cooling a few weeks ago.
