Default Winter mods

Here's some lousy shots of my winter mods. We have a Kenwood double din nav/stereo install by Rich at "Safe and Sound" in Manassas. They did the bezal conversion themselves plus added amp and stealthbox. The seats armrests, and shift boot are by Matt at "Vette Essentials" in Detroit (a fun winter trip).

In the picture the seats look almost white but it's actually pewter and matches the car almost perfect. What really sets it off is the torch red accent stitching. But then again, I consider myself the world's worst photographer. Thanks for the cudos!

What mall? I live in Maryland near Frederick. It might be close enough for me. How large is it?
