Thanks!
I've been lurking in here for a few months now after purchasing a 2004 C5 and thought it about time I say thank you to you guys.
Just tried the Goof Off fix for my sticky Air Bag/Horn cover and it worked perfectly.
So from reading about Black Wing Cold Air (installed) and Corsa Extreme (installed) I want to thank you all for sharing so much great information.
I've wanted a 'Vette since I was 12 and finally grabbed a really nice low milage clean car.
I've been playing with cars since before I can remember and have had my share of some really nice cars - from GTO's, Trans Ams and GS's, to BMW's, Triumphs and few others I'd like to forget about.
This car is by far getting to be one of my favorites.
Yeah the steering wheel is ugly as hell and the car is a little quirky here and there - but I'm love
Thanks again for all the great information.

A couple of pics - excuse the messy garage.
Since I've had it installed a Black Wing, Corsa Extreme, NAV/SAT and got rid of the BOSE, re-painted the calipers, installed screens front and rear, and blacked out the DRL's and got rdd of the run flats with a set of Hankook EVO2's and grabbed some Lloylds carpets and tinted the windows.
Love the car

That just may be next - I've dome the mod on some other cars - the only thing stopping me on this is the age of the car as I'm not sure how much the paint fade is from the hot South Florida sun.
