See what I know - embroidering the Z51 in Z06 form factor looked like a cool idea to me. Very creative.

That and the heated seat switches on the AHC - simple and clean.

Nicely done!!!

Really like your interior, looks unique and pretty well thought out. The cf looks fine in your car but curious if you forgot or have plans to cf the AH panel as Dennis of DD Mods did in his car. I think it would flow better.

I was going to ask you why you choose red instead of yellow for the corvette name on the seats and console but you already answered that. The corvette name on the console is not really obtrusive on yours, you should see the one Chris did for mine, if you want large.

So are you just about done with the interior, it looks pretty finished to me but I thought I was done with mine a few months ago as well.

Trying to get up the nerve (and money) to redo my seats. Yours make me envious. Beautiful job.

I don't think we are ever done as something new is always coming out. I would like to do the door panels and sun visors next but my mod fund needs to recover first.

It is an Avic z1 upgraded to a z3. I found it listed on eBay from a person that lives just across town from me. I contacted him and made the deal outside of eBay. If I were to buy a new unit, I would contact Dennis at DoubleD Mods as he can get you a complete set up to install the unit. If you have basic mechanical skills and can read a wiring diagram, you should be able to do this with no problem. It does have a lot of wires and looks intimidating but with all the information about this on the forum and some patients, you can get it done.
