Obviously a lot of work went into it. My compliments. The overall look is really nice. I like the push button start too.

Yes with the 68 having the key in the dash, it was only natural to put a push button in. I actually moved my ignition into the console for backup.

Your car always takes things to the next level, simply outstanding. Hoping to maybe see the interior in person this year at Wasaga.

You could sell those door panels all day long.

Nice work. I like the pushbutton start and the red stitching.

Looks really like the interior of a C6 stuffed into a C3. That is pretty cool!

Yes I know, but it looks like a C6 overall with the design. I know that everything is custom made, but it has the look of a C6. When I see a C6, I see a modern C3. The fender bulges in the front look a lot like a C3. With all of the carbon fiber and everything, it resembles a C6. You've done a great job, looks really nice. By the way, what gauges are those?

They are Dakota Digital (VHX-1014) universal 5" gauges.
Fit perfect and have all smaller gauges already built in. They also have turn signals, hi beam & parking brake indicators along with a check engine light.
