Default Cam

This was already in my car when I bought it but the Cam with headers and CAI makes my car REALLY fast! That's why I'm too sure about getting my car supercharged. I think I will eventually BUT I keep thinking where am I going to use all of that power? Then again I remember asking my buddy why he got 4 wheel drive on his truck if he'll never use it. He replied "Because I can and I wanted it" lol! That made a lot of sense to me.

You could literally go bankrupt with all the extras out there. Lots of suggestions here, just keep it classy and subtle.

Just avoid buying from Corvette Mods, the biggest crooks in the Corvette aftermarket.

OK, 1st, I love the wheels. What type/size are those?

2nd, That carbon fiber on the console looks very nice, especially with those billet A/C *****. Do you mind sharing the sorce for those?

3rd, I'm also in Florida. Loving not having to garage the car for the winter

VE is no longer in business, however there are vendors that offer similar aftermarket leather seat covers and other trim. I also upgraded my audio system by installing a double din Kenwood HU with Apple Car Play. I matched up a new trunk subwoofer and amp as well as new front door speakers.

The think my favorite and most important mod I did was my exterior lighting. HID ACA projectors and LED side markers and tail lights. It was literally a night and day difference driving at night.

From a performance perspective, I added simple bolt-ons including a Callaway Honker CAI, C5 Z06 sway bars and shocks, Corsa exhaust w/X-pipe and CCW 505A wheels.
