Dennis aka DoubleD Mods/C5 Bears Fan did the modifacation to the bezel, Carskins did the leather, and Pat did the hydrocarbon, it is the 08 pattern.

Might be nice to get some of that exact same yellow thread and carefully replace the thread in the steering wheel...

Yeah, I plan on doing the steering wheel and a few other parts when my mod fund recovers from this.

REALLY very nice. Great job.

My only minor criticism is the "Z51" on the side of the console cover. I think that was a bit much.

But I love the seats, the custom enclosure is beautiful.

Very nice! I like the idea of the bluetooth mike being installed behind the air sensor on the console. How's the reception?

Also, by installing the front camera, that really helps out with the hazard of parking the C5 with it's long nose. Where did you mount it and how to you switch between the front and back up camera?

Center console over done, not subtle, 'less is more', and we know it's a 'Corvette'. The rest looks very nice!

I was a little worried that the reception on the mic might not be so hot but it is fine, made several calls at highway speeds with no problems. I hooked the front camera to one of the A/V inputs I was not using and just push the source button to get to it. I put the camera in the front mainly for parking in those " shxt I have to park here spots" and other tight parking areas we all try to avoid. My vision is not what it used to be, I got a little to close to a parking tie last year and had to do some serious buffing. Hopefully I wont have to use it but if I do maybe the front camera will prevent this from happening again. I made a bracket and mounted it to one of the existing screws that holds the nose on. It is right in front of the area where the car takes air in and about a foot in front of the center air dam/valance.

I had a lot of debates with myself about putting the Z51 on the side of the console. If I was starting over and had to make that decision again I would probably put it on again, but maybe not, that was a tough choice.
