Thankyou , they are Corbeau evo X seats... And actually it's Chinese head unit that was about $300 .. I will need to look up make, got on Amazon here in UK .. But two of my friends have same unit and it's great... Load a sat nav app on it, which integrates well... It has reversing cameras , iPod connection, USB ports, DVD player, radio , even a remote control.. And I managed to customise the wallpaper with vette cross flags too.. Think maybe called a parrot system
And the guys who fit it for me even managed to get the C6 steering wheel buttons to work!

This is the head unit, out of stock but my mate got an update version and it had DAB on it... I was apprehensive about Chinese unit, but it was in my old car, transferred to the Z and 3 years in, no issues at all and performs great!

Amazon Amazon

C6 steering wheel was labour of love and expense! Particularly being in UK ! Talented guys at the shop I used did the work, I collected the bits.. There are some great threads on here about it and pm'd some helpful chaps... You need a C6 steering column, or top bit rather as different diameter, I got a full column from a junk yard and took the bit I needed, the wheel is centennial edition and is brand new, and that one as it has red stitching and matches in with seats and arm rest, gear shifter red stitch look, air bag was from a cobalt,nightmare for me... You try shipping an explosive by air!! you need one with twin connectors , or maybe one, can't remember which way round now! NOW in theory it should work with correct connections but untested only one way to find out... So I've presumed it doesn't , I. Was going to get a momo anyway.. I've put resistor in to get rid of airbag light, you then need update clock Spring if you want to get buttons to work.. I thought it wouldn't but my guys knocked out of the park on this!.. Have to say it looks, feels great, I used a wheel centre from a C6 to pur on as an airbag badge as same size.. Bring over shipping big items etc was long stressful process, not sure would do again, but I love it, it also maybe the only one in Europe.. Not sure anybody else is mad enough!!!

Yesterday I took here to a local car show and got a pic with a black 64 fuelie that has upgraded steering, suspension, brakes, wheels, and tires. Very nice car. I also finally took a pic of my new exhaust.

I also finally got my C6Z brake swap done. My drop spindle project went a bit haywire, I have the fronts done, but the rears didn't work out so it still has the stock rear spindles. This shot shows the current stance pretty well.

Finally added my Redline Goods leather shifter boot and e-brake boot. Amazing how replacing some small cheap GM vinyl pieces can really start to make your interior feel nicer.

Before and after. Sorry for the dark quicky picture...

It is the "Topology" model from Raceseng.com.

I did the same in my previous C5Z, which was silver. My current C5Z is blue, so I went with straight black.

Drove it for a while yesterday, I need to find more time to drive it!

Also noticed that the HUD is a little dimmer than usual and the top 1/4 of the dimmer is useless, so I'll be looking into that issue this week.
