But no offense Rick, I'm still looking for a better price although the price you qouted me is about lower average. I'll call you again in a few months. 
None taken. there is always be a price variance between shops.

What would your next mod be and why. Is money a factor or does the Vette sit at the top of the priorities list.
I'll start,
I'd buy a hardtop for winter. If money was no object it would be the Carravagio. The car goes back to UK next year and Brit winters can be very wet.
I haven't done the mod because, as a true Yorkshireman, (tight with the brass (money) you know), I cant justify the $3000.
Oh and "She who must be obeyed" says I can't

2024 C5 of the Year Finalist - Unmodified
Normally, performance mods would be first on my list.... bu, I'm happy for now in that area. So, I'd get bigger brakes, new wheels and a lowering job for my first mods.
However, none of that will happen for a few years, or I can find a better paying job. It's hard enough staying ahead of the payments.

Car is currently being repaired. The next mods (carbon fiber covers) are still in boxes except for the 1 piece fuel rail-plenum cover which I pick up tomorrow from the custom shop that's air-brushing it's chrome lettering.

Should have asked this one 3 months ago...would have listed stuff in my sig.
Next up for me is either a Halltech Stinger or a Blackwing intake system followed by some 3.15 or 3.42 gears. After that, maybe some engine work to boost that hp output. It's gotta be legal though...don't like messing with the smog cops at registration time...
