Great advise about the radio backup camera. Also make sure that radio comes with bluetooth and CarPlay.

I haven’t done the radio yet because I was gonna go big. Now I’m wanting the drive-ability of having cameras and lowering the anxiety level in tight spaces. You know what I mean. Enjoyed your F1 paddle shift mod as well. It’s shocking how little support there is for this, especially with the totally unintuitive stock paddle set up. Ugh!!! So tired of over revving the engine. 😮. And yet Chevy gave us the ability to raise or lower our C6 using just a 10 mm ratcheting wrench, in under an hour! Anyways, love your “Keeping it Real” technique but you are far from senile my friend. Lol

Great recommendations. I have a 2012 Grand Sport that I’ve done upgrades to. As a matter of fact three of the six you mentioned. Radio, backup camera, spoiler, and smoked side markers, with tail lamps. Iva also added a dash cam, front bumper camera and a curb alert system. I’m strongly considering adding the side skirts as well as the front chin splitter. But that’s for the future. I feel anyone who owns a C6 really needs a curb alert system. It sucks to hear your front chin splitter scrape against anything. So I recommend that system to all C6 owners.

I’ve done all of the upgrades shown on your video except change my radio, stereo sound is such a broad spectrum when it comes to sound preferences. Not everyone who owns a C6 need to upgrade from what is factory provided (which is pretty good sound depending on one’s own preference. None of the upgrades are necessary so I’m indifferent on your suggestions that they are. The “Must Do “ is overrated on a perfectly sound and beautiful car. The engineers did a beautiful and masterful job on this generation so there are no must do’s or you have to’s. C6 corvette comes perfect from the factory. They got everything right in my opinion (whatever model) upgrading is a choice and not a dire emergency as what it seems you’re preaching.

Normally, when someone looks up must do mods, it is because they want to modify the car and are looking for a starting point. Ideas for customization. If you like your car the way it is, then there is no need to even look up mods. I changed the radio because I wanted more features and a screen for the backup camera. I did not change the speakers, as they do sound good. Enjoy your car however you like it. That is the great things about our free country.

@midlifecrisis197914 күн бұрын
There has to be a screw holding your current shift knob in place. If it is aftermarket, then it could have 3 screws like the aftermarket knob in my video. Just look around the base of the knob and you should find a screw.

I am not a fan of the rear wing or the front splitter or the side skirts. I just don't like the look of all that hanging off the edges and they look out of place (bolt on stuff). On my C5 convertible I swapped out the rear tail lights for LED, the side markers for LED, did a paint correction and ceramic coating and upgraded to vented disc brakes with ceramic pads. For the interior, the stock center console arm rest is hard as a rock so I added foam padding a custom 2-tone leather cover. I also had my center console stack the wings on the driver's console painted body color.

@midlifecrisis1979 Жыл бұрын
I personally think that the LED taillights are very nice. If you like the look, go for it. Make sure they have the load equalizing resistor built in so you don't get hyper flash. That would make your car look cheap. Enjoy it and mod it how you like.

That is an interesting point. Comes back to my Supercharger video. Do you want a street car or a race car? Race cars are not good for street because they need to be going fast, driven hard, and have the space to get a little loose. They can also be uncomfortable to get in and out of, hard to drive smooth, and have reliability issues. Each of us have to find our happy zone. Enjoy your happy zone

The steering wheel is pretty ass so I’ll look into switching it out forsure ✊🏻 also the automatic shift knob since I have an auto as well. Put the rear spoiler, side skeerts and the front lip on but I broke my front lip pulling outta my drive way so I’ll definitely have to replace it soon lol also I upgraded to rear morimotos and smoked side markers as well the none smoked ones. Best decision I’ve made thus far. Overall good mods to have definitely a good video
