Looks great Bill. Where did you get the leather console? Do they have it for a C6?

looks great, pricing seems in line for the parts.... 750 maybe a little high for labour but you get what you pay for..

$750 included the rear Camera $300, I-pod connectors probably $75 and the balance is labour. Pricing is spot on a would be hard pressed to beat. I'll let Bill comment on the Italian artist who did the great job wrapping the console

Price seems reasonable. I did my own install and put the money I saved into new speakers and blue tooth. I chose Kenwood because they use Garmin for GPS.

As others have asked, where did you get the leather wrap done? It looks great.

I mounted the radio and AC controller, this takes time as there is no adapter supplied. Brackets have to be cut out and new brackets made from scratch.

The wrap was done by Caravaggio and was $595 plus tax. The console for the radio needs to be fitted for the leather before its wrapped ...DUH.
