Yes for the alarm, but that was additional electrical stuff I did not care to research at the time.

I believe Summit has 'accessory' fobs that this can be wired into. I may tackle that this this winter.

Thanks Dennis, I corrected it:o It feels like it was so long ago when I bought the wheels from you, I forgot. I should've got the double din bezel from you as the one made locally didn't fit. I decided that all I ever use is my Ipod anyway, and really liked the Led lit HuMount. My car is finally going in for the body work on saturday, so hopefully pics will be available soon

Ouch!! This thread is causing my wallet to start crying. There are so many good ideas in here. Nice work guys. I really love the blue LED's in the interior. Also the Alpine HU looks good there. I have thought about going with an aftermarket HU but have never seen anything that turned me on but I like the way that Alpine looks.

Great thread Mike Some very cool ideas here

While my actual mods may not be all that unique individually, I'm not sure if there is another C5 with this particular combination of mods

Shaved handles, molded in brake ducts, Caravaggio spoiler, remote hide-a-way front plate, Carbon Fibre rear C6 Z06 fender guards, Carbon Fibre radio bezel fitted for NAV, VE interior pieces.

Got get GB Vette to show me how he did that gas cap relocate!!!

Not very good representation of TRF's (The Radio Flyer) Side cove LED lights.... Basically, there is a sound module under the hood that I can set the sensitivity of, and that makes the lights get brighter when the engine gets louder...this picture was taken at idle, where I have it set to flicker..





I also have Borla XR-1 Exhaust that not many people have..
