I recently performed some minor mods to add freshness to my ride.

First up the headlights. I bit the bullet and got the Radioflyer slc v3. I now see he has the sleepy eye kit. Should of waited, but anyhow I'm totally happy with the new face. However I did ditch the halos. A little too eastern for me in person.

Next up were the wilwood brakes, from TCE Performance. Easy to install and well worth every penny spent. The car simply just stops right now!

Last up were the seats, for Interior Innovations. I went with a different pattern called evolution, I believe. I chose all black with red stitching since I found the 2 tone black and red seats I had to be tacky. Everytime I see black and red together I think of the matador black velvet painting my dad had on the wall in his bar.

Love the Headlight upgrade, that's my next Mod.

The headlights look very good as do the brakes.

The wheels really look sharp on the car too.

If I was going to buy headlights again I would definitely get the low rise sleepy eye lights. But only if it was proven to not jiggle over bumps.

Thank you for the compliments.

No one likes the seat covers?

Those HID's in the fog lights?

I like the red stitch.
I'm redoing my interior too. It seems like seat leather needs time to stretch and shrink into shape.

Don't believe I've seen that style stitching or the non-perforated middle piece on the C5 seats yet. Looks pretty cool. Nice job.

Runner140,

Those are 6k bulbs in a cheap chinese foglight assembly. I have a pair of 3k bulbs to put in, if I feel the need to have yellow for fog.

I never turn them on though. Literally the only time they're on is when I unlock the doors.

This is the actual seat cover style. http://www.interior-innovations.com/...duct_detail/81

Personally, the 'sleepy eye' thing leaves me dead cold. Much prefer the look you have -- the question, though, is what do you think when on the road at night? Do the beams light up the road? Better than stock -- which wouldn't take all that much?

They are awesome on the road. I didn't order the hypervision kit, 4 hid lights. So I ended up converting to one on my own. I just had to wire up a separate relay so all 4 come on in low and high beam.

If you go with this setup be sure to get the hypervision kit. Even though the regular is phenomenally better than stock.

They are made from the finest elephant ******* on the market!

They are starting to tighten up everyday. The sun is helping out with that.

They look very wrinkled, and loose. I'd get them 'steamed'.
