Shale interior not too different than any other. I'd start with a new flat bottom steering wheel and some c7 seats.

Get you a new double din stereo or if you're feeling kinda froggy go with the maxdin setup

You can upgrade the interior as little or as much as you want

I love the diea of it, but .. I don't think the c5 really lends itself to something like that.

Those two items would be a great start updating the look, and comfort, of your C5. A double din stereo with nav would be another good addition.
