Default GPS on a C5 ?

which one fits well into the stock dash ?
I'm thinking of eliminating the ashtray and lighter too.

depends on what you want to do. I think the 6 or 6.5 inch ones can fit with very little cutting into the bezel. If you want to go crazy and stuff a 7 inch in there you can as well by cutting the bezel frame. Or you can do the bezel mod that involves cutting and moving the bezel frames into the appropriate positions and gluing them in using the abs melting and gluing method. Let us know how clean of a look you want and what model you are looking at. This way we can tell you how much modification is going to be needed. Anything can technically fit within reason

I don't want to cut up things too much.
I'd prefer to keep the cutting to the absolute minimum.

let me see if i can find the thread on one with very little cutting that had a few pics on it.

Here is one with 3 different kinds
http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show...ight=cut+bezel

here is a thread that involves remolding the dash just so you can kinda see what is involved

another thread with the remolded bezel
http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show...ight=cut+bezel

this thread has the guy who makes the molded bezels. ONly thing is that he paints his and doesnt do the textured look. You can ask for an unpainted one and texturize it yourself

post #12 on this thread will show a pic of what it looks like cut
http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show...ight=cut+bezel

hope these give you an idea and a direction you may want to go in. If you have any thing else after you look through these, ask away
