Default DIC question?

I was at work today talking to one of my buddies and he is interested in a 05 GTO. so he has been doing his research and came across a site that customizes your dash cluster (needles, diff color lights, diff greetin message, etc) so i tried to search it on here but no luck.......does anyone know of this kind of mod for our cars?.....besides the LED interior one. For example....to reprogram it to say something else on start-up instead of Corvette by Chevrolet. I know in the Audi world it can be done but its quite pricey. thanks

Not sure about aftermarket, but you can't change the DIC on our cars as you can on the C6.

Just leave your DIC alone and accept it even with it's limitations...

(Someone had to do the obligatory DIC joke)

Can't do it on a C5.

Have not heard of anyone being able to change the startup message on the C5 DIC. If you can find someone that can, I'm sure they would be able to get a lot of business.
