PICS: C5 Double Din mod
I was able to take better pics of the mod I did prob a good 8 months ago. It came out great and thought I would share. Still waiting on the rebate on the radio....guess I wont hold my breath
I go to car shows and no one really comments on it because they think its stock...people outside the corvette community anyways.
The A/C unit looks grayish in the pics, but trust me when I say it all looks very well put together. The flash makes it appear that way.

Great job.
It does look stock and a great way to up date our
C5's.

Looks good! I like Nav updates in the C5. It's on my "list" of stuff that I hope to do one day.

I like the red trim around the bezel. Where did you get it?

I wish Ecklers or Mid America would sell these instead of some of the useless accessories they now carry.

They pretty much have to be hand made without paying thousands for a mold. Trust me I looked into it
Looks great nice job on install

Looks great!
Maybe consider aluminum gauge bezels, Steering wheel decal and possibly 3D letters for the passenger airbag (don't get vinyl decals for that they easily curl up and fall out.) to make the interior pop a little more.
