Default C5 with C7 dash

Ok I know this sounds crazy. I like the c7 dash nav blah blah blah. I don't want to buy a c7 any fenders or people that could custom fab a c7 dash for a c5 corvette?

For the cost of a C7 they might be able to.

The skill level and man hours involved would be insane.

If you are not happy with the interior there are good options. A double din head unit helps bring the car up to date but requires a center console radio bezel to fit it which is kind of expensive ~$300 and up depending on what you have done to it. A leather arm rest for the center console is a popular interior upgrade.


Here is a picture of one of a leather wrapped interior. Not too shabby!
