Default Interior changes

Just sprayed my center console last night with 2 stage Arctic White paint.

.... After doing several searches I came to the conclusion that it would be so much nicer (and easier) if we have 2 dedicated areas in the C6 area, one for interior mods and one exterior mods. There are a lot of people posting pictures and comments about these two topics. There are even more people that have questions on what "X" would look like.


Anyways...




couple more interior/stereo pics

Nice job on the white console cover. I love my Millennium yellow cover just as much. I think it really adds to the all black interior.

Looking good! You're a braver man than I as far as painting in or around the Vette. You did a great job.

That's a great look. I purchased the GM body-color console for my Monterey Red '07 convertible and I get a lot of favorable comments on it. Good for you for doing it yourself.

Killer speakers, too. Don't blow the glass out of your hatch!

Nice work.

Diamond Car Audio is a favorite brand of mine. The company founder/owner was a major player in the concert sound business for decades.

If you built the sub enclosures as well, you are truly a craftsman.

Are you going to hide the amps under some form of shelf/bin?

Yeah I built the sub enclosures. Had to some how fit 2 JL W7's. The Diamond audio's are great sounding speakers. The amps will be under something, still working on that.


Thanks for the comments!

Don't forget to do the steering wheel spokes and other pieces to tie it all together...
