Default MOD suggestions for my base coupe

Hello all
I was wondering if you had any good MOD suggestions for me. I am thinking of Z06 side grill kit, painted calipers, and upgraded headlights so far. Did anyone install the Z06 side grill on their coupe, and how hard was it? Also any good places to have custom work done in the NY, Westchester area? Thank you for reading my post. :bb

So you want appearance mods and not performance mods? :D Check out LAPD and Xtreme Motorsports (forum vendors). They both carry appearance mods and performance mods. :cheers:

The best place for ideas, the best place for buying, the best vendors of mods for Vettes can be found in the Forum Mall.

Prices are right, the people are great and will help with decisions. The vendors help support this Forum and are knowledgeable about Vettes. Have a great time selectiong what is best for you. :chevy :flag :chevy :flag

I would just leave my car as is, leave that Z06 garbage off! Screens, rear brake air ducts. :U

Set the car up the way you want it! Don't worry what anyone else thinks. Brake ducts look good and are functional. I had a problem warping rotors (rears) the ducts not only look nice but they fixed my problem. Warped them twice before the ducts and with the ducts no problems. :D Remember you bought the car to make yourself happy not everyone who sees the car!

Look who's talking Mr. "$4000 Hardtop" :lol: (just messin :jester )

If you want a good visual mod...buy new wheels, the wheels make the car.

If you want a good performance mod buy and intake (Blackwing or Vortec)
