I like the way it looks. I just wish I could get the bread out. A sandwich would be good right now.

Sorry Josh there are only a few kits available and none that I know have special brackets. Now it is reasonably easy to fab up your own bracket.

So when you gonna get your C4?

yup... for airbags that never came.

same thing for the stupid Ford horns on the turn signal stalk... never did get comfy with that "better idea."

WERD! I love the looks of them. IF anything getting those flat aftermarket pieces look pretty bad. I love the breadbox. When i was younger i always jumped in the vette and thought it was a AirBag Then i realized in 86 they didnt have Air Bags

I started with a hacksaw, after a couple seconds opted for the dremel. Did anyone else's double sided tape deal on the vent actually work? I had to cement mine on after that thing fell off after a few days.

When I had mine apart I took the shop vac and cleaned real good in there. I was suprised how good it actually looked.

The bread box is the only part of the dash I DO like. I am warming up to the digital display. It is a bit neat, but sorely outdated. I don't always like to be reminded I am in an 85 model car. Vette or no Vette.

Still, on topic, the bread box is great. It's the only interior part that says Corvette and I appreciate the lack of branding whereas most manufacturers stick the name in 200 spots on the interior.
