I had a complete set of KoolMats (front set and rear set) installed in my 2004 Vette. I got a good buy on the two sets at about $1,200.00 total an then I paid about $800.00 to have my Corvette specialist at my Chevy dealer install them. The only extra thing needed was that I had to do some...

I bought a new Corvette Coupe in 2004 with the preferred equipment package (heads up, sport seats, memory, 12 CD Changer, etc.) during the $6,000 rebate window and at dealer's invoice. It ended up slightly over $36,000, plus about $2,000 in sales tax. For a play car, I thought that was very...

Inside? R&D racing cross bar, G Force 5 point harnesses - both seats, Kool Mats - front and rear (not visible), and beautiful, blonde, female passenger.

I respect Ligenfelter's expertise and as a result, I put GHL Motorsports cat backs (what they recommend) on my car. And I am very happy with the result. However, wheels are an entirely different issue. Racing wheels need to be extremely lightweight and if I was going to race my car, I might...

$96 ain't bad; check out the price of Mobil 1 now - remember gasoline is now $3.00 and gallon and that quart of Mobil 1 that used to be $4 has gone way up too. I tip the Service Writer, Service Manager and the mechanic who is the Corvette specialist at my dealer more than that each at Xmas each...

Most say the Vararam system. Fit is poor.

My wife just picked up a new 2007 Cadillac DTS (the performance model) that's been on order for over 4 months and while at the dealership I noticed they had an BMW M3 convertible (are they all?) in black on black for sale for $12,500; and it looked almost new. Some young guy traded it in a new...

I'm jealous - your house in the background looks a little bigger than mine.

Well I finally got both the front and back sets in from WCC and I had the Vette mechanic at our dealership install them. There is a small improvement in sound deadening, but I expected a lot more for the almost $2,000 I spent. At the same time I made this mod, I had a Rhino liner put in my...

About two weeks ago I noticed my lights wren't as bright as I would like at night so I put in a set of Sylvania Silverstar headlights in my 2005 Tahoe. To put in all four bulbs took about 3 minutes and no tools were needed. Anyway, that was so fast and easy I got the bright idea to do the...

Kool Mats finally arrived via UPS today. Every vendor I contacted was out-of-stock and on backorder, so there must be lots of people out there buying these kits. What I found was funny was that they were shipped as two, 3 lb. packages and what I got was two, 25-30 lb. packages.

Incredible waste of time and money to satisfy some ill-considered legislation. It probably relates to some law passed that was intended to force makers to put assembly plants in Canada for vehicles sold in Canada and wasn't meant to apply to low production vehicles like the Corvette. In most...

Oh, I forgot what I really wanted to say. My wife recently ordered a new Cadillac to replace her 2004 SLS and while she was looking a dealer tried to get her to consider a CTS-V. It has a hand built LS6 engine rated at 400 hp and a 6 speed manual, big wheels, huge brakes (like the Z06 Vette)...

Speed data on ships is notoriously underquoted that ship can probably go twice as fast as stated or more. I understand some of the USA's major nuclear warships can hit 60 knots (60 knots equals 69 mph, a knot is 6,080 feet vs. a mile at 5,280 feet) or better, including some aircraft carriers...

Move to top. Come on guys. I know there are others out there who suffered enough from road noice to make this modification. If anyone is interested there is an article in the March 2003 Corvette Fever magazine showing installation of the Koolmats in the rear of a C5. The local (about 50...

I just bought both the front and rear sets of KoolMat floor liners (installed under carpets to reduce interior road noise by a claimed 23 decibels) for my 2004 Coupe from West Coast Corvettes. As I am still recovering from a bad SUV rollover accident, I am not physically able to install these...

They made about a dozen improvements each and every year of the C5 production run. The 2003s and 2004s are the way to go. Actually, since GM was offering a $6,000 rebate on new Corvettes late in the 2004 model year, you may get a 2004 for less than a 2003. I bought my 2004 at DIP (dealer...

Two questions - Do they take plastic? Will they gift wrap?

I have a Vararam system that I had professionally installed (after I gave up because of the poor design and fit) in early 2005. The fit is fair to poor on all C5s I have seen and you have to be careful that the connections stay clampled together (they are much easier than the stock connections...

I have a 2004 Targa Coupe with stock 5 spoke wheels. West Coast Corvette has the Z06 chrome wheels with embossed center caps, lug nuts and locks for $795.00 and through 11/15/06 has a 10% off sale. Two day shippin is $239, so the total delivered to me is about $950.00 and I think I need to...
