New seats!!! We all know the stock seats are pretty bad. It was also the first thing I did to the car. I also don't like leather....not to mention the rocking and just the look of the stock seats. I fixed all those issues with one purchase.....

It would be a toss-up between the brushed & powdercoated CCW's, modified GHL bullets, Caravaggio hood, or the Tigershark front bumper. Going widebody might turn out to be the best, we'll see.

Best mods in order of preference:
1. Cam and supporting N/A bolt-ons project (cam, headers, LS6 intake...etc. all was done at once)
2. Corbeau Evo X seats
3. C6 Z06 wheels and tires.

My favorite mod? I'd have to pick my interior I guess. Adding a new piece to it very soon I'm hoping. Hard to pick just one. Hell, I like all of it.

Billy Boat Bullet Exhaust. Some will say it drones to much, I disagree; those people are probably too old.

I like all of my mods, but if I had to pick just one I’d have to say the anti-venom mod, because it was the least expensive and made such a difference with my Hinson shifter.
