I plan on interior trim and perhaps the insulation kit (if they ever release the one for the Vert!)
My next mod is powder coated calipers and SS lines - happens on October 21
Next year is the year of the horse.

Winter projects for your C6 right? If that what you mean, I am buying WWC 946 wheels and American Racing Headers so I will have them ready the first day my car comes out of storage.

I spend a little extra time cleaning and detailing my car....Winter is the time of year I really can enjoy driving topless.
On a more serious note, my next real project will be upgrading my brakes as I get more involved running the car on a road course.

Exotic Vette full insulation kit,with new audio system wired in at the same time including Dynamat Extreme in all the appropriate places.I'm still collecting all the pieces,and I'm sure Santa will fill in the rest.This is a great time to shop for audio gear as companies get ready for the new 2007 stuff.

Wanna sound deaden the rear of my coupe.
Any suggestions, particularly regarding the wheel wells (I presume I will use matting for the flat areas) ???

Greenhorn, Bestbuy has Dyna mat in sheets that can be cut to size. Or buy it on line.
