Are you certain that wasn't a photoshop image? If not, I also want to know HOW!

Photoshop. Can't be done to a C5. They did make it available in the C6 though.

Yes but that is a Z06 dash on the second picture. Check the redline. 6500. The first image could not be a photochop. The reflection shown would be impossible to create. Must be a computer wizard to figure out the changes.

I have a friend that has a Cadilac CTS and the dealer changed his dash to put up a different saying when he or his wife get in, has something to do with the key or maybe to FOB. I'll ask him next time I see him.

Since the picture is a somewhat long exposure, wouldn't the DIC letters be much brighter than shown?
