just curious if I swap the radio in mine, is that going to somehow kill the value of it in 5 years? while it was an option to put the touch screen in the carbon, mine didn't come with that it just has the standard radio/cdplayer etc...

If you plan on keeping the car for 5 years and driving it - than mod it the way you like it.
I wouldn't consider the carbon to hold its value for 5 years unless you have an extremely mint, very low mile car that you wrap in a bubble and never drive. While a great and beautiful car, its still a corvette at the end of the day. My opinion : Make it the way you want it, drive the snot out of it, and take the depreciation along with the enjoyment
