Spent the day replacing the stock radio today. I think it turned out way better than I thought it would. Slowly but surely making my vision come true. I love this car!

Looks good except, sorry, I think it would look much better anodized or powder coated black to suit (and maybe a stereo with similar color to the factory dash ). Good design though...

Yea I didn't think about it when I ordered the radio and it being such a glossy black. I wanted the aluminum look so that it would stand out in a sea of black and be the highlight of the interior.

Who did the front face plate for you? I would not mind getting a single DIN unit if I can find a face plate similar to yours.

Maptech Enterprises is the place to get one. Lots of options and very good quality. I highly recommend.

Sorry, but to replace the stock radio with a single din is so...dated, especially with a 'Zo6 filler plate'. ( what kind of car am I driving?)
A double din really updates a C5, but it's your car not mine.
