Default Items You can't live without....

Our stock seat may not be the best in the market, but it is for some of us who want to retain the stock image of the C5. I found two items that really improve the seats. First, the "Black Leather Head Rest Pad", and second the "Bolster Bikini". Man I've been sitting for 3 years unable to rest my head, and if I did, I would have to adjust the rear view mirrow to see behind me. Second my Bolsters were wearing, so these Bikini Bolsters cover up and protect any further wear and help me stick to the seat.. check them out, great products to improve you driving experience..

I've looked at those headrests but they are only for sport seats and a little pricey as well. I actually like the sport seats. Wish I had them.

The head rest pads could be very useful, especially on a long trip. Guess the bikini bolsters would help with the wear and tear in that area.

Oh yea, they were easy to install as well, fit greats and really helps holding you in the slippery leather seats during those twisty winding roads.

Here's another one, this should have been stock but GM has to make a profit. Got this in-expensive "Oil Catch Can" built up the guts to seperate the oil to vapors and it keeps the intake manifold clean of any oil buildup... Get one, there are great:
