I'm not much of a fan of either one.....how about a high performance hood seal, a magnetic drain plug for the transaxle and an "I LOVE MY CORVETTE" license plate frame - you'll even have a few bucks left over for gas!

I change my vote to save it for a cool exhaust..you want it basically stock but to change the exhaust note would just round up the car nicely..I wouldn't bother w/h sequentials or black outs at all...

I would do both mods sequential.

First the lights then the blackouts.

Are you subtle or showy? Do you want rice or nice? Depends on your taste and goals. In the meantime, do the taillights

Blackouts + sequentials?? If the car came that way people would say the blackouts are too dark, that they look better red -- and that the sequentials are too 60's (remember the Cougar, etc.).

I consider both a waste of money because they do not make the car look better -- they are gimmicky. I say spend the money on or toward a performance item or toward a detail job or a fluid change. (Have you had the brake/tranny fluid changed or the coolant system flushed recently?)
