Here are some additional pictures (sorry for the size):
Here is a link to a couple of photo albums of my Z06 as well:

For the LCD monitor, I carefully cut an opening in an "X" pattern where I wanted to mount the monitor base. Then, I slowly and carefully pressed the monitor into place. Once it was where I wanted it, I took some strapping and attached the base for the LCD to it, sandwiching the headliner between the strapping and monitor base. This way, if I want, I can remove the monitor from the base and I don't have a hole behind it. You just have to convince yourself that the worst thing that will happen is you need to purchase a new headliner.
I had another one that I bought, just in case I screwed this one up.

Exactly! I keep it off most of the time, but when I am sitting, waiting to get called up to the lanes (I drag race in a local Corvette Challenge), I can watch a movie to pass the time. Only thing I wish Sony had done was integrate the XM names into the interface so they would show up on the monitor. MP3 CDs/DVDs will show the artist information on the screen. I went with this setup, because the head unit and LCD monitor can communicate wirelessly. Only problem is that with the volume up, it distorts the picture, so I went ahead and ran an audio RCA cable from the rear of the head unit to the control box for the LCD.

Had my rack built by a guy at Tweeter who has done work on pretty much all my recent vehicles and always done a great job.
Had him install the JL 250/1 amp and Stealthbox from my black C6 and the PA11-VET iPod connection for my current yellow C6.
He did a great job and I really like that he came up with using the hatch cover from the storage area where the Stealthbox goes in the rack.
I love that it all looks stealth and anyone peeking in wouldn't be able to see all kinds of equipment to steal...
