You choose my next mod!

Melting Slicks
Honestly I'd get something to make the car faster or get an exterior mod that everyone can see/ hear. If it was me I'd get exhaust. I was at a local car show/ cruise night when my car had stock exhaust. A buddy saw me and said rev it up a little, I did but was kind of embarrassed on how quiet the car was. I now have B&B PRT's and people turn their head when I idle by

I would not spend the money on the E-brake and Auto Boot. If you do not already have a set of lloyds Mats or Cargo mat, I would get those and have a few bucks left over.

i definitely like all the ideas coming, thank you! So far i'm leaning away from the dsvette stuff because i'm thinking several hundred dollars for red stitching is a waste of money. If i was changing from ebony leather to red leather that would be different.... I have the stock muffler mod done for a couple of months and i like it for now, i'm thinking i'll get a corsa at carlisle this year so thats out for now. I'm leaning now towards lloyds mats and put the rest towards more tunes, not just the booster for pedal response.... I would LOVE to get performance mods, but i really dont need more HP because i'll never track this car and to put headers, cam, supercharger on my car is just asking for trouble, plus way too much money to put in to a car i pray to trade in on a newer one in the next few years.... (i totally contradict myself all the time because as i'm writing that last sentence i'm thinking to myself, you say that every day yet you spent $5k on mods in the last 5 months....)

For the money and hassle it would be to order that stuff from DSV....I'd rather buy the GM boots and *****-ebony with red stitching. Very reasonably priced and you can get them pretty quick from GM Parts House or PartsTaxi.

Oh Brother - you are on the forum, it is only a matter of time. When i got my Vette I said the same exact thing... get a baseline Dyno, trust me...

Vig1116, get yourself an Elite Engineering catch can for $160. Seriously.
I was a nay-sayer until I saw the pool of oil in my intake manifold (take a look, you'll see), & then researched the engine knock & timing-retard it causes, not to mention dirty valves, pistons, etc. Wonder why the back of your car has black soot after every drive...or why your tail pipes always get so black?
I only wish I'd installed a CC when new, not for cosmetics but for a clean, healthy motor. -just my .02
