Post pics of your c5's customization. I'm looking for some ideas for my c5.

Not sure if you are looking for true 1 off custom or customized vettes. so here are a few things I have done.
L-5 flares, lowered, custom rear sub box with 2 12" woofers, engine detail and most was cut by hand from SS and some was painted. Mounted fiberglass racing seats to my original power sliders, swapped int to red black and suede in places.











My first box had dual 10`s This box is now for sale.



My new box with dual 12`s





My amp rack

How much did your seats cost you? Are they originally that color or did you have someone fix them?

My seats were originally all black. I wanted some color in the interior, so I contact Vette Essentials and had them do me a set in mod red. Top quality leather and excellent fit. Cost is $2K for the set, but occasionally they do put them on sale. Speak with Matt - he'll take care of you.

Sometimes it takes nothing more than a little imagination and DIY paint/detailing to set your car off from all of the rest.

Don't do what everyone else does with their cars...




No one will know that you've changed your shifter, but changing the **** and adding a fire extinguisher are both visually appealing and functional...
