I have a awesome car with some nice performance and appearance mods, but my list still continues to grow.

How about your list?

What is the absolute next mod for your vette?

Mine...well, if I had the cash, it would be the C5R headlights with the HIDs. And a paint job.

Until then, I will just settle for new seat skins. At least the driver side.

Mid-america spoiler and front canards which I sold quite a while ago

Headers/high flow cats/x-pipe
Custom seats or new leather seat covers
Some DIY projects I'm contemplating but haven't started on any of them
Tune after headers install and then I don't know since I can't afford any other performance mods

 

My next mod is probably getting the car re-painted and paint the rear end black like the C5-R. If I list the mods I want to do after that I will be here all day.

 

In addition to the mods shown in my signature, I'm installing an ESC A/I system, Z06 sways bars, a 3.1 pulley, belt tensioner, carbon fiber engine dress up pieces, and chrome filler caps this week.

All the lower cost items are done, high dollar stuff ahead.

I'm saving up for a set of C5 logo valve stem covers to dress up my gray wagon wheels!

 

I won't bore you with what I've already done, but next week I getting my stereo revamped, I'm currently having my hood liner painted, then headers, X-pipe and a tune, and maybe some custom graphics.

 

My next one - new wheels and tires.

 

Hmm, I've done about all of the under 1k mods that I wanted, OK so a few were over a k. Now it's time to start hiding some cash from the Mrs so that I can do H/C next......Damn, probably a year away though.

As you can see in my signature, all my mods are bolt-on. My next mod may be swapping my GHL Magnum cat-backs to a Z06 cat-back system as the GHL's are a little loud for my taste. Guess I'm officially a "geezer" now as loud noise irritates me.
