Mod Red Metamorphosis
I recently purchased this C5 and its was time to personalize to my own taste.
Heres what I started with interior wise when I picked the car up.
Now nothing wrong with it just not my style...so my first move was to get rid of the blue.
Not bad....but still didn't quite get it. So searching the forums I saw a silver Z06 with a Mod Red interior....all I have to say is WOW! Thats what I want my car to look like. So I started searching the classifieds and it wasnt long before this showed up in my garage.
So after a day of 108 degree heat inside my garage heres what I wound up with.

That looks awesome! That blue is hideous and just had to go 
Did that mod red come out a wreck or race conversion? It looks brand spankin new. I have the mod red in my Z06 and I added the red shift boot which I think compliments it nicely. I might add a few more small touches but I don't like the over the top look. Enjoy the ride and the rest of the weekend

The panels I got from AJG1915, They only had 2000 miles on them, Tony is also a super guy to deal with I would highly recommend both to anyone on here.
I'm about to go clean her up and take her for a spin before it gets too hot and then rains again like it does every afternoon in North Florida.

I really want to get those red/black door panels. Did you buy them new or were they used?

Silver with mod red interior is an excellent combination. Looks so much better than the blue highlights you started out with.
