Default What is your favorite interior mod?

Guys:

I am a new C5 owner and the mod bug has already hit me. I absolutely love the exterior styling but think the interior styling could use a little help. I've tried most of the forum links but I really can't get a good feel for the appearance change from internet pictures. So I'm interested in what you guys/gals have done to your interiors that you really liked?

The engine has already been modded to a point that I'm happy with (390 rwhp through LPE )

Thanks

I have installed the gauge bezels and think this is a major improvement to the look of the interior. Also like the "full" steering wheel decal and the dash air bag letters.

Carbon Fiber replacement dash pieces. If your car does not have HUD that was also one of my favs.

All I can say is WOW! I've seen a lot of VE interiors but I don't know if I've seen anything as nice as VETTERAN's.

DeeGee - do you have a picture of your DVD/Nav player installed?

A few simple ones. Add some body color to air bag letters, steerlng wheel, and a 50/50 body color / black shifter boot., and colored flags on the wheel center. Cheap, and covers full left to right.
