Interior mods for early C4

Anybody have a non stock interior that wants to show it off? Such as:
New seats
Sat nav
Stereo
Dash mods
What ever else you have done
Maybe some gauge pods or shift lights

Hi,
Notice you have the C4 badge showing on the notification screen.
How do you go about it? Would love to upgrade / install on my C4.
Cheers

I replaced my cup holder and ash tray for a USB panel I made. I don't smoke anymore and never drink in it so it made sense to do that. I don't have the pictures on this computer otherwise I would post.

I used Tach, Speedo, Oil Temp, Oil Pressure and Water Temp along with Voltage and Fuel Level in the center. Other gauges to consider depending on your setup: Trans Temp, A/F Ratio, Boost, etc.

Good luck.

I wish I could answer your question and say that I did all the work but I can't. My job in this endeavor was to simply pay a guy to do it. If you remember the magazine, "Corvette Fever", the builder of my car was a tech writer for the magazine.

for those of you with gauges in the vent spots-how did you make the black backing pieces? Did you use a plastic piece and cut a hole for the guage to fit or?
