Default The Mod Bug Has Started

Purchased a 1999 C5 with 18K miles 2 months ago and finally did my first mods today. Installed corsa pace car exhaust, blackwing air intake, cags, set of thin spoke wheels to replace the wagon wheels.

Just thought I would share my experience as all of the items where purchased from members through this forum and boy did I save alot of money but also got alot of great advice.

Up next rotors, new pads, throttle body and air bridge.
