I have heard from members of the Corvette Club that I belong to that this is a great "soundboard" for asking Corvette questions.
I have a mint 2001 Convertible that I purchased and will be customizing through this winter.
My first question is; can anyone direct me to a trusted supplier of high quality C5 parts to dress-up the engine. Most chrome parts that I've seen are adheisive parts that I'm really all not that sure about.
Secondly, I reside outside of Toronto, Canada and shipping tends to be expensive if purchasing via the US.
Thanks!!!

If you want something besides chrome, Kewl Auto makes some nice painted pieces. Custom pieces can be had by AutoBuffs and ChevyChad.

Rent a Post office box in Niagara Falls or Buffalo at mail boxes etc or equivalent... have your parts sent there... and drive home with them already installed...
Sell your stock parts on the Forum and ship them from the location where you have the post office box...
