Don't... they look cheesey. Keep the pointless stickers and do-dads to a minumum. Unfortunately modding a C5 these days has turned into a ****fest of crap picked from the Ecklers and Mid America catalogs.

"If it's under $50 and I can stick it on I want it" type of people.

You were doing so well w/ the coil relocation and painted valve covers... keep it that way.

EDIT: Do what I did... paint your TB. I used a textured black paint on mine let me dig up a picture.

LOL, they actually look pretty good, I am not one to do the sticker crap trust me but I thought it would go good with the covers witha red background and black LS1 letters on it but I will wait for that pic of yours

WTF

I don't care for a lot of bling myself but what I do believe in is this:

It's your car, do what you want with it.

Yea I think I am going to get one, they aren't really "bling" but I think it will be a nice touch to the vlv covers (red plate with black LS1 letters). Thats prob the last thing I will add to the engine bay.

See if austin.mn can help you out. He makes custom items for the car and they look outstanding. I believe his web site is vetteorama.com.

Fine... but just trying to save another C5 owner from the trap of having a "catalog car".
