Post a pic if you can of your mods....looking for some nice ideas and with Carlisle comming up just want to have some fun working on the vette. Can be both interior and exterior but please refrain from the hideous

The letters aren't molded in...the license plate is molded and the 2 holes for the emblem are molded also. Thanks. I forgot about those.

Great stuff guys and keep it comming! Some really great ideas! At this rate I'll have work for the next several years!

I just installed the DD bezel and my pioneer AVIC and love it. No ashtray but I drilled the cover and kept my power adapter source handy out front. I wanted to install white face guages and the chrome trim rings in the cluster but need to find white face guages that actually have the symbols cut out and not just a box cut out to display any lights.

...I also learned of a new mounting location for my fire extinguisher as well
