C6 HVAC ***** on a C5
I bought these C6 *****
The factory C5 ***** are so bland and cheap looking.
The paint on my old billet C5 ***** needed redoing and these were only 20.00
http://www.ebay.com/itm/400607341282...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
You get 4 *****
2 of them have tiny allen screws and a plastic bushing that has to be drilled out to 11/64" by holding a drill bit in a pair of vice grips and turning it by hand to whittle out the plastic.
Then push them on and tighten the allen screws with the supplied allen key.

It's some parts from an interior trim kit.
They give you 4 styles for the traction control bezel.
I cut down 2 to cover the red/blue circle lines since
I didn't like them and IMO this looks better.
This part on the console

To each his own.
I like it better than when guys do the whole console in CF
or style some other colorful fugly setup.
My 2014 Hemi SRT Cherokee has similar looking CF laminate pieces
from the factory
And the same Rockford Kenwood old school stereo components

There's a 3rd Kicker 200 watt amp like this one under the seat in the Cherokee buried in the Corvette dash for the tweeters.
Level controls for the 3 amps for high mids lows to dial in the tunes
And a fused accessory port in the trunk

Thanks for the info both over PM and in this thread!
I just ordered the gunmetal ones (same price) as they offer either chrome or gunmetal.
Found them via this ebay search:
