Default First mod! Torn between mats & headers not sure which ?

Don't want to get wild and crazy with breaking into the transmission and what not ,so was thinking about something subtle. Like lyods triple weave deep ****, with jake emblems. Or box 1" shorty Chinese/Korean headers that I found on Craigslist(imported from Nigeria).

This is such a tough call, please help me corvettforum

I wouldnt waste my money on any headers that are the same or around the same price as a set of floor mats. Spend the money on mats, an intake, HID lights or anything that isnt complete junk.

I definitely wouldn't touch any headers that are the same price as mats.

I agree with everyone on the Cheapo Headers, DON'T get them, get quality ones like LG, American RAcing, Kooks, can't go wrong with those.

I have an idea for your first mod, cheaper than the Matts and MUCH more noticable. Get the interior LED kit. Many of the Vendors on here sell them, easy to do, but makes a nice difference in the interior for sure. Car should have come from the factory with them, but you can do them yourself.

I'd look first for some chrome stick-on accessories. There are lots of things to "outline" on a C6.

One of the first things I did was mats.. Get that interior protected and looking good. You spend more time sitting in it than anything else!

Did you just say Korean/Chinese imported from Nigeria? What are they $3 bucks free shipping?
As soon as my mats start to wear I'm going with the super **** from Lloyd's.

You do realize headers require a tune and will kill your warranty right.
Oh stay away from cheap chinese hedders.
