Mods to your C5, before and after. Let's have some fun here, I hope.
Did you change wheels/tires, let's see 'em before, and after.
Change paint, add stripes, mod your interior, exhaust tips, engine mods (something that will show) like adding a SuperCharger.
Help me out here, to think of other mods we can show. Anyone change something, found you didn't like it, and changed it back. Let's see it!
Post up a photo or two of before; and then a couple or 3 of after your mod, which you think makes your C5 your own. Large or small, if you got pictures, show them, and a little explanation of what you did and how you like the results.
I'll start. I put new wheels and tires on over a year ago, and I love them. I only wish I could get the rears in a little wider version, to put some more rubber to the road.

You have a beautiful car! However, I actually prefer the way it looked before! That's probably because I'm an old fart!

Thanks for your thoughts. As I said, I loved it before, and also love it after.
And, I appreciate the 'old fart' reference...... ;-) I feel that way too, sometimes.
C5 rocks in many forms...

Best mod IMO is either the long tubes or shift ****.

Factory shift **** is that awful.

yellowvette76

agree at 100%

Bought my Z about 3 years ago with 28k miles and pretty much bone stock except for some motor work:



Tons of mods later...and I like everything I've done (however not a few of the companies I did business with)...but modding a car to my exact desires is a lot of fun.

I can't say that I like any mod the best, rather it's the combo of the mods that have made my car into something I'm super excited about every time I open the garage.

Wow MotoJB your car is gorgeous. Love all the carbon fiber and silver accents. Well done, not overdone. So many little touches that make it stand out.

Pretty cool looking cars in here. I will try to keep up.

Not sure if I have a favorite mod but if I had to pick one it would be the engine bay I guess.

Before, when I bought it back in '07.



What it looked like a few weeks ago. Notice the difference in how the paint is now? Took me about 6 months after I bought it to get it to the point I was happy with it with a lot of polishing. It shows it's true colors these days.





What the engine bay looked like when I bought it.



What it looks like these days. I actually have the air intake painted gloss black now too.



Also just installed some new seat skins with some purple accent stitching to go along with my shifer and e-brake boots.



I am really glad I was able to rescue this Vette from a life of neglect at the time it came up for sale. Having lots of fun with it.

Keep 'em coming..........
