"Unofficial" C4 Interior/Exterior/Engine Mods- Post em up!
I always like looking at what people have done with their C4s; after all we are the "Red-Headed Step Children of the Corvette World" and since we don't have much power compared to the newer guys and not much hope for a "classic" tag- I think C4 owners are the most creative with thier cars (plus, I always like to borrow ideas from others)-
So, let's see some pictures- and add a little verbiage if you want-where you bought it, how much to do it, what color it was before etc.
Under the hood-love the cool engine bays as well.

Amen!
I bought my LT4 in May of '07 with around 33K miles, now has close to 50K. I've made a few mods (and repairs), noting too radical:
Stainless Works headers and Random Technologies cats
HotCam (pulled engine to repair spun rod bearing, at which time cam was installed)
Tuned PCM
Hurst shifter
Drilled and slotted rotors with Hawk ceramic pads, Earl's braided lines
DeWitts radiator
Samco silicone radiator hoses
MSD opti
SLP Claw intake
ZF Doc beam plates
R-D Racing Camber-Brace and Cross-Frame
Here's a few pics from projects:

C4 of Year Finalist (appearance mods) 2019
Brad you do nice work. Your car looks really nice. Having had several of the same mods done to my 95 I can appreciate what you've done. I've never seen a top brace (for when the targa is removed) like that. Did you make that yourself?

Not that much so far, lowered the car, added a set of 17x9.5" ARE wheels with a stretched tire (used some spacers in the rear to push them out to line up with the fender) and a K&N filtercharger. I have a twin turbo kit and a Callaway Aerobody front bumper in the garage waiting for me to scrounge up enough change to get them installed. I also am building an HKS exhaust system (yes, I said an HKS exhaust system)

I know without pics no one would believe me about my future mods, but heres a pic of the turbo kit and Callaway bumper in my garage
I need to get some new foglight lenses from Callaway (they cost almost $400 for each lens !!!!!)

Nice Looking Motor!!- I'm glad I got to see just exactly where that Opti is at- I've got 52k miles on my car and I don't think the original owner had to change it out yet
