    LF good Corvette mechanic in Ottawa/Kanata

    Thanks, notsayin. I already discovered Sean and brought my vehicle to him. His shop is on the other side of town, though, so painful to bring it in (I'm in Kanata). Luckily, it's only once a year or so. Glad to hear feedback on the dealers. I will avoid them. -Robbob

    Navigation system for C5

    I saw some negative feedback for DD once I started looking. Bitching mostly involved slow delivery times for new bezels but not on the quality of the bezels themselves (he says up to 8 weeks and he means it). I would feel safe ordering a new one from DD, as opposed to getting them to mod the one...

    Wind Restrictor for vert vette

    Does anyone have experience with the Wind Restrictor for their convertible Vette? I am thinking about installing one but would like some opinions first. Testimonials on the www look positive. Home page

    Navigation system for C5

    First time poster here. I have the same dilemma for my Vette. That said, I have experience with aftermarket NAV units in other vehicles. Summaries below: I bought a Pioneer AVIC NAV unit but cannot recommend it. Pioneer uses their own custom NAV software. It is not user friendly. The sound...
