Figured I'd start a thread and document my changes. I bought this 98 C5 2 weeks ago. It's always been garaged. Paint is flawless. I flew to Indianapolis and drove it home to Atlanta. It's silver on black and came with both tops. It's bone stock...currently.

The day after getting home

I just installed a 9 pc blackout kit and rear lettering from reflective concepts.

I have a skip shift eliminator and vararam with air bridge waiting to be put in. Tomorrow I'm getting a Corsa catback with X pipe. Once both of those are in I'll probably get it tuned.

I'm waiting on my iPhone interface to show up from DD. I've got a gift card to summit so I'm going to order a set of Lloyd's mats.

I tinted the sides 20% and the front 32%.

My wife is already yelling at me to stop buying stuff.

Just put in a proclip iPhone mount. These are the best. Had one in my Tahoe and loved it.

Congrats on your new C5!

It wont be the the last time she starts yelling at you for spending money on the car... It gets worse... and more expensive!

Rims were the first thing I changed. I couldn't stand the wagon wheels.

Subscribed, looks like you're wasting no time in mods.

Make it the way you want it, enjoy the time spent with it. You will love it(most of the time) when you turn that key and it starts up. If anything goes wrong over the course of owning the car don't blame the car...just come here and find out how to make it right.

^for sure. Can't wait to put the vararam on I got from you.

I hate these wheels too. I got a guy with a set of C6 chrome wheels/tpms/tires I'm prob gonna get.

And I'm on the fence about removing the bsm. I'm one of the few that still kind of like it.

Great looking car. Always loved that color combo. I was the same way on the BSM. The moldings look good for being a factory item but the car looks so smooth and clean without them. Glad I took mine off. Lots of before and after pics here to help you with your decision.

Wow - what a great looking car (not that I am biased or anything)!

When I bought it (3 1/2 years ago) and after I complete the Grand Sport project this Spring...

Narco944

Looks great!

Nice looking '98 you bought and some good mods you have planned. Not sure I would go to the expense of a tune at this point. If you do headers, heads/cam, etc., then a tune would really help a lot. But you will get some gain even with just the Vararam.

Car looks real good, good luck with it.

Just got back from putting the catback and x pipe on. Pics in a few

Here's a few today. I need to polish the tips and clean the carbon off the inside of them. What's the best way?

Below is a link for the YouTube clip of how they sound. This was today on a cold start up.
