11th time I've changed my stereo setup? Buts it's getting there,need to add leds and a lid to the amp rack and build a new surround for thr sub. Running 2 orion amps one 2500.4 and one 1000.4 with my mechman alternator. Added two stealth boxes and am running 2 10 inch orion hcca mids. Still working on the amp rack but even untuned it has never sounded better.
Is a press fit but can still stow the top in the trunk.
I came ultra close to putting my c5 up for sale but my family talked me out of it. My kids have started talking about how one day they will own the car and take care of it and work on it. So... I might as well do a couple of things like put in a carbon fiber steering wheel, swapping out my headlight light bars for Switchback animation ones.

That's awesome how long have you had yours now? What acura are you driving? I have a 2020 Rlx sport hybrid for my daily? I have just hit my 10 year anniversary with my c5.

I've had my DD 2000 c5 since Nov 2003. Also have an -07 Acura TL type-s but am going to be getting us a new family vehicle early next year.
I'm struggling between a -23 Kia stinger GT2 and a -24 Acura TLX type-s
Saw both of them on my commute recently and I am really torn because I like them both
The Acura is handsome AF and the stinger has the same practical utility as a C5 coupe because it's a hatchback. I guess the ultimate decision will be price when the time comes
Howdy guys, long time no see. It's been a while since I've been on the forum. Funny to see the post about the acura, which one did you end up getting? I actually sold my rlx sport hybrid a year and half ago and got a 24 integra type s. It's been a lot of fun and balances being a great family car with plenty of storage for 3 hockey bags in the trunk.

I bet that is an awesome family/daily driver also with the hatch you can drive year around. How has the reliability been with it, been pretty stout? Here is my ITS.
Oh nice you've got a stormtrooper as well! That ITS is a very handsome car, along with the TLX-S.
No issues with reliability on my end thankfully. I am at the limit to modding the engine for power though. Any higher boost pressures and you have to change the head bolts out to studs. There's a tuner who offers services to do the stud change. He will fly out from city to city all across the US but I am very comfortable with where she sits now. My car feels completely like stock until you change it to sport mode. Even then the change is subtle because I have kept the factory exhaust.
The only real giveaway is the whistle of the turbos on part throttle and the "school bus sound" (my wife's term) of the BOVs if you let off at high RPM
