Very nice interior, Bill.

Where did you get the shift boot and the sticker on the steering wheel?

I have a sticker on mine but the red looks more pink than red.

I've got the Hurst ball type shift **** in red w/black shift pattern & like it! The **** stays cool & went down on the shifter a little more making the shifts feel better.

Also if a cue is to big for hand try snooker que ball it is smaller. I have done a black que ball aswell. Not much of a dif in size but to your hand it is very noticeable good luck with the mod. Oh and black que was 10.00 white snooker was 8.00.

I got the shift boot, e brake boot, traction control trim door and grab bar covers from http://www.redlinegoods.com/ Great guys to deal with. The steering wheel emblem is from Vette Works International it's the raised style (sort of jell like).

Notice how tall many of these sit. The ones below are threaded all the way in, so the ball sits lower.

Wow, thanks for all the options guys. For me, the white cue in the modern cockpit of the C5 looks classy but is a throw-back to old school american muscle.
I also like that decal, Bill Vett, the big black steering wheel definitely begs for some dressing up.
