My budget is around 5000 for extra stuff right now but I dont even know what I should be looking at... is it wheels or like wings for the back? Sorry if this is a total beginner question but what accessories actually make a difference for someone like me who just wants the best experience?

I have about 5k set aside and need to fix this before my next event in two weeks. Im looking at cooling mods or maybe some better aero kits but I dont want to waste money on stuff that doesnt work. Which performance upgrades or accessories are actually best for the Z06?

I need something with that perfect laser-cut fit that stays flexible in the cold because I have a $200 budget and need them before a camping trip next week. Are Husky Liners actually better or should I look at those TuxMat ones everyone is talking about?

I've got about $12,000 set aside for this build and I want to get everything dialed in before a big event I've got coming up in early November so time is a bit of a factor here since I know lead times can be a total nightmare lately. I was looking at some of the aero kits because the downforce feels okay but I've heard some guys talking about how the Z07 package spoilers make a huge difference over the standard ones if youre hitting high speeds on the straights and I definitely felt the rear end get a little light on the faster sweepers. Is it worth going aftermarket for the carbon fiber bits or should I try to hunt down OEM parts even though they are priced like they're made of gold?

Also I'm thinking about the tires because the ones it came with are fine for the street but they got greasy real fast once they got hot. Here is what I am looking at:

• upgraded brake pads maybe Pagid or something similar


• high temp brake fluid because the stock stuff is probably cooked


• some kind of intake or exhaust but I dont want to mess with the warranty too much if I can help it


• better track alignment specs if anyone has a good shop recommendation near SoCal

One weird thing though is that I felt the DCT hunting a bit more than usual in track mode when coming out of the tighter corners and I am wondering if there is a software flash or something I missed? Or maybe I am just overdriving it. Just curious what you guys think is the best bang for your buck on these new platforms...

I was looking online at all these parts websites and my head is just spinning because there are like a thousand different things you can bolt onto these things and I dont want to waste money on stuff that isnt actually useful or good quality. I live out in Ohio so we get a ton of snow and salt on the roads and I'm really worried about the bed getting all scratched up or rusted out so maybe a liner or a cover? I saw something called a tonneau cover but I dont know if the hard ones or the soft ones are better or if I even need one if I'm just hauling stuff from Home Depot once in a while.

Also my wife is already complaining that it is too high for her to get into comfortably so I probably need those bars on the side but I dont even know what the official name for those is. Step bars? Nerf bars? There are so many names it is super confusing. My budget is about $1500 to maybe $2000 for right now and I want to get this stuff sorted before winter hits in a few months. Should I get mud flaps too? I see some trucks with them and some without and I dont know if they actually do anything or if they are just for looks.

Sorry if these are really basic questions I am just a complete newbie to the truck world and I want to make sure I do this right the first time without looking like an idiot at the local shop. What would you guys put on first if you were starting from scratch? I'm mostly using it for DIY projects and maybe some camping trips next summer...

My logic was that I should just find something made of heavy rubber but then I saw these ads for laser measured liners and I dont really get what that means. Do they actually use lasers on the truck? I keep seeing brands like WeatherTech and Husky popping up but they look exactly the same in the pictures so I have no clue why one costs more than the other.

I have about $200 set aside for this and I really need them by next Friday because I am taking my golden retriever to the lake and he is gonna track so much muck into the cab. A few things I am worried about:

• do they slide around under the pedals because that sounds dangerous


• are they easy to wash or do I need special soap


• do I have to take the old carpet mats out first?

I just want something that wont crack when it gets cold and actually fits the floor perfectly. I am so scared of buying the wrong size and having them not fit right. Any ideas for a total beginner?...
