Default What did you do to your C5 today?

What did you guys do today? I just got my 04 C5 Coupe a couple weeks back. Loving the car so far. It has 28k miles on it. I change all the fluids today as I do with any used car I buy. I also ordered new Loyd's floor mats and a double din center bezel for a new Pioneer AVH-4000NEX head unit to replace the stocker. Im looking for a z06 Ti exhaust in Florida. If anyone has one let me know.

Only got to look at it today. Was going to go to a local cruise night, but the weather did not cooperate.

Installed Michelins on Alcoa rims on my 2002 Z.
I replaced the after market rims and the 12 year old tires which were on the car when I bought it.

Installed a set of Pfadt light rate racing sway bars.

I've had them for over a year, just never got around to installing them.

After installing Hotchkis bars on Dads C5 Vert last weekend, I had to do mine. The difference from stock Vert bars is amazing on both cars.

I put a C5 logo on the hood liner & sealed the taillights with silicon insulation. Looks great!

Yesterday I:

1. Replaced the rear rotors and caliper brackets with the C6 Z51 rotors and brackets. The mod nets a 1"bigger rotor.
2. Repainted the calipers red.
3. Installed braided steel brake lines on the rear.
4. Installed steel end links on the rear sway bar.
5. Raised the rear by 1/4" from where I had lowered it to.

Today I drove it like I stole it!!
