Default Your best c5 mod bargin....

I was at the tri-state swap meet here in Denver over this last weekend and wanted to share what i picked up for a great price. A brand new, never installed carbon fiber engine cover for $50.00. I will be installing it today. ***just installed it, see post #12 for pics***

So what have you picked up for cheap $$ to feed your mod addiction??

Man, that is one heck of a deal you got on that piece. Congrats.

Anything I would have got cheap would pale in comparision to that.

A DIY Lowes addition to make the under-hood area look a bit better. Very cheap, several comments, especially when at Corvette Only shows.

Just after I got my FRC,,a fellow club member said he would sell me a Corsa touring (slightly used) for $200.He wanted more volume and got Borla's! Last year another buddy had a Corsa X-pipe that he hardly used before he went full Kooks system,,was moving out of town,,sold me his almost new X for $150. The car came with a Blackwing on it ,,so it was FREE!!Now I gotta actually PUT the X on!!I know it will smooth out the idle sound and make it soother over all,,,,just hate to lose the crackle and pop on deceleration!! Hope that there will still be a little,,I actually like it!!

Set of 19in CCW 505a's no tires for $1250.00 plus shipping. They had a couple of marks on them, but nothing that didn't come out after a little sanding and polishing.
