Kind of hard to decide between these two.

I'm most satisfied with getting rid of the hideous wagon wheels that GM put on this beautiful machine. I have polished Y2K's on my 99 and it's like a brand new car with them. The Y2K's are the best looking factory wheels ever!!

Good Question! .... The most enjoyable is easy, but the most satisfying is
hard... Rotors rank up there but I think the most satisfying would be the
seat covers. I installed them myself and they turned out really well, and
VE skins look so good! See for yourself;

My most satisfying mod is my Billy Boat Bullets, followed closely by either the personalized plates or the euro tail lights.
I think I'll go: 1) Bullets 2) Plates 3) Euros 4) Honker

I would have to say my partition from Southern Car Parts. Before I got that my phone and radio were drowned out by the Borla's. The C6 Z06 shifter is nice too.

Hmmm. I've only done a few minor mods, but I guess I would have to say adding the Window Valet to my vert has been the most satisfying. Either that or installing the I-Pod adapter. It's a toss up between those two.

sorry guys, I know they cost some major coin but I gotta go with the Twins here. That power is just friggin awsome and I never ever get use to it.

Then I would have to say the C5R Lights. A Major PITA but the car IMO looks so nice with them.

Most satisfying mod! That's a tough as I have done a few! I believe they all satisfy me equally. Examples?

1) Brembo Gran Tourismo Racing Brakes (Rotors & Calipers)
2) Custom HRE 847R Wheels
3) Custom stereo IVA-D300, JL Audio speakers & sub-woofer
4) 500 Watt Amplifier, Alpine 12 Disc CD Player, Alpine Nav System
5) B&B PRT's with oval tips exhaust
6) Donaldson Blackwing Air Intake
7) Cags Bypass (No more 1st to 4th)
8) C5 Coupe Waterfall emblem
9) Lloyd floor mats & coupe mat

That should just about do it! All this is why I LOVE to drive my baby!!
