I'm more of a stock guy myself, but I prefer positivity over negativity, and I think the car looks better lowered slightly, so I'll vote for that.

Not sure of your definition of mod but here are mine: Window Valet, Curb Alert, Radioflyer Hi-4 harness, LMC5, MGW shifter, antenna mod (does not go up when CD is playing), fog light high intensity lights, and Surge Tank cap to 18 PSI. Not major mods.

My favorite mod has been changing the color of the interior to something that is not original to C5, but does pay homage to the C7.

Ed, you should get the mod of the year award with your interior transformation if it was ever to exist

2015 C5 of the Year Winner

My fav would have to be FINALLY going to 18 & 19" wheels. I love how they fill the fender well better.

Forgot to add, new custom carbon fiber steering wheel and LED lights EVERYWHERE.

My favorite mod is going out and practicing my rusty manual shifting skills. I'm getting better but still too slow compared to my precision on a motorcycle.
