what i meant by free mods is that on my camaro there is a free tb mod you can do somehting like that, like performance wise i guess. but what other free mods are there? you mentioned appearance?

For a few dollars you can add a TB bypass kit. You'll get varying opinions on the real benefit to this, if any. You can find some details on that here:

For appearance, well, you can add a nice touch to your car by painting the calipers and rotors if they are not all ready done with a $5.00 can of spray paint.
You'll never get a consensus from this group on which wax or polish to use but I suspect that everyone that's used it will tell you to strip your current wax using Dawn dishsoap and go over the entire surface with a claybar and then apply your favorite wax or polish, most see a noteable difference in the finish after this.
Clean up the engine bay. Here's a couple of different approaches to doing this.

Welcome to the forum and congrats to you and your Dad on the C5. I have a set of B&B Route 66 exhaust on my car and it is not much louder than stock, but it does sound much better than the stock exhaust.

Congradulations and Welcome to the Forum. I chose the Z06 Ti exhaust and the Z06 airbox with a K&N filter and couldent be happier. Just keep checking the Parts for Sale area for the good deals.
