Nothing this year. I've been trying to put money away for a new one so what I have done to the C5 is going to have to do for now. However, that could change at some point if I just decide to keep the C5.

Had the same thoughts but last month decided to
keep the C5. Only has 33,000 on the 03, its been trouble free
since I bought it with 18,000 miles. Just decided that who
knows what a used C6 will bring in headaches. In 4 years I will
still have under 50,000 miles plus I just put in vette essentials
seat covers. Jack, hope you keep the C5 as I enjoy your posts.
Merry Christmas

Hope you keep the C5, hate to see you leave this forum for the C7.
Merry Christmas.

Bought the Vette a set of OEM polished wheels to replace the OEM painted wheels. After seeing MAC5's OEM set of wheels, I knew I wanted to make this change. The top two pix have the polished wheels, the last is how it looked with painted OEM wheels. I just like MSG better with polished alloy.

I just rebuilt and painted the front calipers (red, of course!) and am waiting on the new drilled and slotted front rotors to arrive.

I also just ordered a set of halo tail lights.

I'm waiting on the new LED interior and license plate lights to arrive.

I just finished up the replacement of the brake master cylinder and the installation of the roll-control solenoid.

i installed the new braided steel brake lines as part of the caliper overhaul.

I installed metal end links on the sway bars.


Other than that, not a THING!!

KoreaJon
