Winter Interior Mods Complete
I went with the interior overhaul for the first winter project since I bought the car last year. It was my first major modification and I was able to do it most all by myself with some help from a buddy and a few calls and emails to the vendors to figure the a few things out. I think it came out great and have no problems with any of the products that I purchased or any of the vendors I worked with on the project.
The List of Modifications:
DDX 719 Double Din from Double D Mods
New Seat Skins from DJ Motor-sports
Insulation Kit from VetteNuts
Lloyd Mats from CCA
Double Cupholder from Zip Corvettes
Short Throw Shifter 427x from TPSMak

Looks great. I know it's a daunting task to pull out the interior and gut it before rebuilding it.
Have to ask though...What product do you use on your dashboard as it's the shiniest one I've ever seen on a C5? Tbe before pictures don't pick it up as much, so perhaps it's just the camera flash.

I really like the DDX719. I have an IPhone and the Pandora works great on it and I have also loaded Motion X GPS app. Motion X works fine but if you get a text message or a phone call the map will freeze and you have exit the app and re-open it to get the maps working again. The Bluetooth for Phone calls is not that great but that is just due to the noise of the car. I have removed the accessory plug port in the center counsel and have the Kenwood Cable run from behind the stereo and under the bezel into the center counsel.
I do not believe the insulation kit was worth it. I will tell you go get a small piece to add under your center consul to keep the temperature down in there if thats where you are going to place your iPhone/ iPod hooked up. Other than that save the 200 bucks
