Currently it's on BC Coilovers, AC hood, Fikse wheels and 4eyec5 (purchased through Facebook). I have c6 black leather Z06 seats with nrg steering wheel and a system (12" sub). As far as mods it has full exhaust, intake and a mild tune. This winter I will have all the parts in my garage on it which is new rear end (390 gears), ls6 intake, tsp cam kit, 799 heads and a nitrous kit.
