Default Custom stereo install finally completed

For all of you that MAY have been following my torturous stereo install (in the C5 General forum) over the last 2 months (yes, it has taken more than 2 months!!), it is finally completed. And what a relief it is after all the frozen extremities, twisting, grunting and general frustration.

All the tedious details are chronicled here in excruciating detail for those interested - http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show....php?t=1009771

It was well worth the effort. First, Reflectix on the tunnel and Frost King EVERYWHERE else (even the overhead hoop), then DynaMat Extreme in the doors, then the fabrication, painting, fitting, wiring, refitting, rewiring, breaking things, fixing things......... it was all worth it to me.

It kicks and I'm very pleased with the results of my labour of love.

Just thought I would share it with you guys and gals over here in Audio and Electronics. The full thread is here over in C5 general if anyone's interested - http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show....php?t=1055340

Here are the pics without further preamble and drivel.

Window Shade for stealth


Stealth from the rear


Stealth from the front


Thanks again to Z06-JIM for this wonderful idea!
