Default Millenium yellow

Just looking for ideas for my car. Let me see what you've done to yours. My car is 02 completely stock. Looking for ideas on cosmetic changes. Wheels. Rear spoilers. .

Definitely get some wheels, I dont have a yellow c5 but any wheels look better than stock C5 ones


There are definitely some tasteful appearance mods, but I think the base c5 car is beautiful itself (and I come from heavily modding things for looks &#128514

Lower an inch or so on eibach bolts and throw some good fitting wheels on it and let it ride

Here's mine. CCW 505A's 19/20 setup, black painted roof, Corsa exhaust, clear front turn signals, LED tail lights, 3rd brake light pulser, and sequential turn signals

I have 19/20 HRE's with RK Sport rear spoiler and side skirts, BB exhaust with Trackspec hood louvre, Depo headlights, AR brakes with custom badges and tail lights. Have fun with your car whatever you do.

Not4spd - you’ve got a very well done car. Nice combination of mods.

OP - one thing that can make a huge visual impact is a new set of wheels. Comp gray, polished, chrome or even a nice silver painted wheel all go well with Mil Yellow.

A good mild start would be LED halo tails, clear front signals with yellow LED bulbs, bi-xenon HID headlights, new Adjure reverse light housing (with LEDS), and paint the bottom of the rear fascia black (or plasti-dip it).

That will give a relatively inexpensive updated, but still subtle look. Then you can start saving up for more expensive touches like wheels.

There are tons of good examples on here of what others have done. I like that so many people can take the same car and do their own mods to update it in their own specific way.

I've done a lot to mine, mostly during the first 5 or 6 years of ownership. Wheels, calipers, engine dress up, interior mods. Got it looking just the way I want it! Working with yellow can be tricky so most of my accents are subtle. This is an 03, I bought it in 07 and still love it as much as I did on day one. In fact I just got back from a spirited drive! 😀

I like the stock look. I changed my wheels to a set of TSW’s in gunmetal, and changed the brakes out to C6Z06 ones, left the rest stock.

Nothing wrong with stock wheels, if you keep them clean.

I sure can't tell you what to do, concerning your car, but the first thing I thought about when I saw your pictures was the emblems you have on the back, and especially the front.
The one in the front is much to close to the emblem for Grindr, the gay hook up site.
That was my immediate thought.
I sure wouldn't want people thinking that is what I am into.
One might ask how I know about Grindr.
One of my tenants belongs to that site.

Not a lot done to my car yet appearance wise, but I really like my wheels. I can tell you what I’m planning on at least short term. Window tint, probably will black out the targa bar, definitely blacking out the rear diffuser. Also the side moldings will be removed. After that, who knows.
