I have not done a whole lot with my C5. One of the shortcomings of the C5 is the headlights. Night driving was a bit of a CHALLENGE to say the least. I installed a Radio Flyer Bi Xeon kit and could not believe the difference. I was concerned about glare to oncoming drivers but the lights are well set up (Stevenson Corvette) and the difference is literally night and day. Amazing investment. I have a set of Radio Flyer led taillights to install which I will do soon. Mod Riley added Radio Flyer marker lights to his C5 and they look amazing.

My car fell just outside of serial number issue with valve springs but I changed them in any case using Brian Tolley (SP?) spring kit. Gave some comfort eliminating a potential costly problem.

I have CCW SP 16 wheels (19's front and back) with Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires. Handles great looks good, at least to me! I really like the look of the car with the stock Z06 wheels but the Goodyear F1's were getting a little long in the tooth so I have a set of Continental tires that I found at Canadian Tire to go on. Graham, Nascar03, has them on his C5 convertible and says they work well.

So that is what I have done. What are the changes you have made and what is on your wish list?? The C5 platform really lends itself well to modifications of all types for street or track.

Would be great to hear from our C5 andC5Z owners.

[QUOTE="Black 03 Z06, post: 278129, member: 1852"] I have not done a whole lot with my C5. One of the shortcomings of the C5 is the headlights. Night driving was a bit of a CHALLENGE to say the least. I installed a Radio Flyer Bi Xeon kit and could not believe the difference. I was concerned about glare to oncoming drivers but the lights are well set up (Stevenson Corvette) and the difference is literally night and day. Amazing investment. I have a set of Radio Flyer led taillights to install which I will do soon. Mod Riley added Radio Flyer marker lights to his C5 and they look amazing. My car fell just outside of serial number issue with valve springs but I changed them in any case using Brian Tolley (SP?) spring kit. Gave some comfort eliminating a potential costly problem. I have CCW SP 16 wheels (19's front and back) with Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires. Handles great looks good, at least to me! I really like the look of the car with the stock Z06 wheels but the Goodyear F1's were getting a little long in the tooth so I have a set of Continental tires that I found at Canadian Tire to go on. Graham, Nascar03, has them on his C5 convertible and says they work well. So that is what I have done. What are the changes you have made and what is on [B][I]your[/I][/B] wish list??
