Default Got back into Vette scene. Need some advice.

So Im looking to pick up a 2003 Z06 this week.
I have been out of the vette scene for quite a while.
Last vette I owned was a 1992 LT1 and 1996 LT4.
So can you all give me advise on where to get replacement parts like wheels etcl and after market performance parts like cams/header/tuning.
Also any good tuning shops in Pennsylvania/delaware area near philadelphia?
Im so excited to be back!!!

thanks

I like Zip Corvette and Mid America Motorworks for aftermarket accessories. For wheels I like Element Wheels. Great customer service from all of these companies.


Welcome back.

lot of parts are still available at the dealer. most ac delco label parts can be found on amazon at great prices. rock auto is also a source.

big places like summit racing can be great for parts but there are many smaller shops you may chat up who specialize in builds if you decide to go that way

Race Proven Motorsports is in New Castle DE, I had mine dyno'd there a few years ago, really nice operation they have there, I hear they do great work. I had my pcm tuned by ECS in NJ last year, very good tuning for a low price. I'm in the Reading, PA area. Congrats on getting a c5z, you'll be amazed at what a difference there is coming from a c4!
