I can do the hydrocarbon 08 GM pattern (same process as GM) on your existing console for a lot less then buying a new one. I also have the gauge cluster, center console, door lock bezels and door button bezels to match.

I dont see the door lock bezels etc on your site only the center console. Don't see any other carbon match products other than that

I only have 20 parts in the shopping cart. Let me know which parts you are interested in and I will put together a package price for you.

Ray used to make and provide the conversion pigtails for a nominal cost. I don't know if he does this any longer but it would be worth checking with him.

If you're looking for a new console Gene is a great source. He will help you make sure you get the correct one.

Good luck with the swap. You'll be very pleased with the result.
I just purchased one of the conversion pigtails from Ray last month to do my conversion. I must say that the pigtail was very well made and worked perfectly. The new bezel really brightens up the interior and the swap is easy to do.Go for it!

I have matched the pattern in Hydro Carbon and will be offering it for anyone who wants to have their interior parts done to match the 08 and up pattern.
I will have more pics of these on a C5 radio bezel next week.

I am also goign to have a C6 bezel with 2 gauges installed in the matching hydro as well. This will be available in a couple weeks.

here is a copy of my post in C5 General


I am now able to offer the C6 Hydro Carbon pattern to anyone who wants to get any of your C5 interior or engine bay peices done in this pattern. This is the first pic of a custom double din bezel I have made and had it finished in the C6 hydro pattern. This gives another option to the already awesome looking hydro patterns I have available.

Anyone interseted in having peices done in this pattern send me a PM and I will get you the info on pricing.

I will have this one and two more double din bezel with no ash tray next week.

Pm me or email with questions

Thanks, But I am in Sherwood Park Canada, and I want to keep my original console, plus I like the leather trim on the 08. I think I'm just going to order a new one from GM.

Thanks for the referrals and mentions. I certainly appreciate it. Get your console here at GM Parts House! We even have the 2010 patterns.
