Thank you all. It has really been a dream of mine for sooooooo long to own this car, especially the C5. I still can't believe I own it. Sometimes I just walk in front of my house and just stare at it in my driveway. The look of this car is really unique and its not like anything on the road. I get soooo many looks in this car. I just can't wait to take it out again. You should all be very proud to own this fantastic automobile.

As the others have stated - this is the place with the answers. It may seem like a new problem to you, but chances are very good that someone here has been there and done that - and is usually willing to share their trials and tribulations.
Just do us one favor, please.....
Don't ask about which floor mats are best, what we think of body side moldings, which intake is best or which wax to use. It's can get pretty ugly.....

Optima Red Top - (Some like the yellow)
Headers - LG long tubes are king
X-pipe - It's 50-50 on getting one or not...
Cat-back exhaust - I'm not sure... Borla may be king?
Headlight gears - If you haven't fixed them yet, you will.
Leaking differentials - If it's newer than 2000, it leaks.
Run-Flats that... well... run flat.. and poorly - many tires to choose from!!
Wheels - Z06 wheels are popular... As well as many others...
rotors - Cross drilled and slotted for show... NAPA rotors for the track...
CLB Bypass- If you don't know what that is yet, you haven't been paying attention!!
What else?
I'm messing with you and everyone else...
Feel free to ask away... Though figuring out the details thru a search is a good idea... Then ask the final missing piece on here and waa-lah!! You've got it...
