CHRISTmas suggestions
I'm putting this question out to the CF peeps cause I don't want to spend time thinking about it. What does Santa (aka spouses) need to bring us for our C5s?
Make sure to put in a ball park price...I'll be looking for those in the less than $300 range. For the moment I think I'm going to ask Santa for those LED tails....I know they will be closer to $400...then I might want to get those 'ns made by Radio Flyer....very nice.

Southern Car Parts, a vendor on here, sells tail light seals to combat that dreaded drip after washing for about $25.00-30.00. I had them on my c-5 and they worked great.
Also, if you have a vert, they sell a must have item called "Window Valet" for around $140. It allows you to raise or lower your windows by pressing the lock or unlock button on your key fob. I also had one of those on my C5 and I really miss having it on my C6. I think I'll be asking for one for my C6 on my Christmas list.
Another item that is really handy on a C5 vert is a "Trunk Popper" as most C5 vert trunks do not pop up enough to put your finger under the trunk lid. That, also, is available from a guy on here so you could just do a search for "Trunk Popper" and find him. I think the price was $10-$15.
As you can see from the type mods I do, I go mostly for items that make my Vette more enjoyable and user friendly and easier to maintain. I am not one to do drivetrain mods.

You mean Santa right ? What do you mean Spouses ?
I just write my letter to Santa, and give it to my wife to mail to Santa. Is that what you mean ?
I'm asking Santa for:
Stainless Brake lines
Brake bleeders
Catch Can
Magnetic oil drain plug
More Zaino
Corbeau A4 seats in black Cloth
Toque
