Posted a message in the C5 forum about my Corvette. Would love to hear from the C7, ZR1 and Z06 owners about modifications you have made to your Corvette and what you would like to do.

Let's hear from you folks. Sure there are lots of interesting stories we would love to hear!!

Sure, I'll give it a whirl. I did post several years ago but some new mods done since that time:

2015 C7 Z51 M7

DSS carbon drive shaft
Katech light weight flywheel
MGW shifter
MDS Plenum
Halltech carbon CAI
ARH mid length headers with high flow cats
Borla catless x-pipe
Innovator West light weight harmonic balancer
Braille light weight battery
B & B Bullet exhaust
Carbon fuel rail covers
LG Coilovers
Silicone rad hoses
Aluminum 180 C rad thermostat
Racing trunnion upgrade
Sound insulation
LED trunk and rear plate lights
35% window tint
ACS front spoiler and Z07 side skirts and rear fins
And a tune from Race Ready Garage
Katech spindles
Carbotech 1521 brake pads
Pulled the fuse for the muffler actuators and installed a resistor for the x-pipe actuators. Removed both sets of actuators.

I think that about covers it. Probably some more stuff that I can't remember.
 
@tyho it looks like you have single handedly kept the aftermarket business in business. :Biggrin:

Do you track your car? Love to see a picture of this one!

Thanks for joining in. :thumbs:
Nope never tracked the car, just a hobby

For anyone posting even the lightest of add-ons, it says a lot about the success of the C7. My C7 was delivered with everything that I needed in my first Corvette. ❤️🙂👍🏻 Added some cosmetic things that I wanted along the way … it’s all posted in the Winter Add On Thread and one in a “Contest Thread” so not feeling it’s good for me to repeat it all here. 😇 👍🏻
Know of many C7 friends who have modified theirs. I am amazed by what a couple have done to their early C7’s (2014 $ 2015) to add similar features of the later C7’s (like carplay and nose cameras).
Was highly motivated to trade-in and acquire the ‘’19 C7-ZR1. Wanted only the real deal though and my integrity kept me from over-bidding so I did not get one. Will only overbid when it comes to charity Did that to get a book with an awesome and authentic Dale Earnhardt Signature in it. That’s in another thread here too and not for derailing this one. Cheers to all C7 Owners 🍷 👍🏻
Post up yours - no matter how big or how small. Photos are great too. Hoping to see something I just might need 😂

Thanks for joining in SN3. Amazing how much thought and effort so many have put into making their Corvette theirs. :thumbs:
This is a small WeatherTech add-on that I did that has resulted in a huge benefit for the “Corvette Pilot”… not a much for the lack of a “Navigator cup holder” now though. 😂👍🏻

Well.... Nothing earth shattering for mods on my C7. All cosmetic or marginally functional. But I will post anyway as the OP is my friend and he gets 10 free VetteCoins with every post he gets...lol....

SunTek PPF, RaceReady Catch Can, Air Raid Intake Filter, Aero7 Rockers, Splitter, ACS Splash Guards, Tinted Side And Rear Marker Lights, Diamon Fusion Glass Coating throughout, 35% Window Tint on the driver's and passenger's glass, Limo tint on the rest, and a Novi Stretch Bra for the longer trips. Oh. And a rearview Cam to see the expression on driver's faces when I pass them. lol.
