Lots of New Mods, Lots of Pics and Lots of Thanks!!!
 
I've been really busy over the past three years in personalizing my C5 convertible. It started with a complete HID/LED exterior lighting conversion in 2010. I then overhauled the interior in 2011. In 2012 my focus was on the exterior and some additional performance improvements.

I believe that every good plan has to have an end goal in mind so with the installation of my new CCW wheels a few weeks ago, I have completed all of the mods I set out to accomplish. I'm sure I will continue to tweak the car as long as I own it, however at this point, I consider myself 99% done and now just plan to drive it, enjoy it and re-distribute my "mod money" into the "buy a C6/C7 Z06 stablemate fund". :woohoo:

Edit - I am planning one more mod and that is a new camera!

In addition to the mods shown below, I installed a set of Koni FSD shocks, Z06 sway bars, a Corsa X-pipe, RAAM Audio sound/heat insulation kit and an Elite Engineering thermal tunnel plate all topped off with a Chuck/C.O.W. tune.
