Hard to pick just one, but top on my list would probably be my Vette Essentials interior. So much better quality than the stock stuff. After that, there would be the Corsa Pace Car exhaust (was on the car when I bought it), LED halo taillights, and Blackwing air intake.

Custom interior is probably at the top of the list for non-performance related mods. MGW shifter for performance related mod.

Similar thread here...

Certainly difficult to pick just one. Would be a toss up between my GHL Bullet exhaust bought used here on the forum, or the gunmetal Forgestar F14's that I waited what felt like forever to get. A close contender would be the LED halos.

If you are referring to the actual console, yes its a factory console... if you are referring to the radio Bezel, its modified factory double din from Dennis.
The head unit is Kenwood...
