Default I'm back

I joined last year but never got around to posting threads or post, I guess I concentrated mostly on my wife's car and doing mods on her CRV, some of you might know me from the other site and I also used to be a member of the now defunct Cfivevette forum, anyway here are the current pics of my C5 and what I've done recently
Just a week ago here are my current mods yet simple
1. Z06 screens

2. custom painted center dash -not yet installed, waiting for Vette essentials shift **** and boot

3. Aluminum Gauge bezel and painted IP outer bezel

4. Another view of the IP

5.Custom painted door handle bezel

6.Custom painted fuel rail covers with letter kit

7.Center armrest cover which I bought from Bloomington Gold last year

8. Pictures of my Stingers which I acquired last October- gotta love those rumble

last but not least, a pic of the behind

Hope you guys like it.

Welcome Back! That's going to be a sharp interior, and you sure go the color right!

Can i have some more information on your arm rest?
And, who did your painting?
Thanks,
Chris

Looks great. Is that an early 50's Pontiac, or Olds I see in the back ground?

The armrest I got from WCC last year at Bloomington Gold for $90+tax, I believe the color was light gray. The painting was done by a local auto body shop, he only charged me $100 for the whole lot. Hope this helps

Yup, it is a Packard, but that's not mine. I took that pic of my friends driveway.
