The C6 Vert' Needed Some Interior/Audio Work...
The nice thing about the vette is the awesome aftermarket support. The interior has always been a low point, so I swapped a bunch of parts out for genuine leather w/ red stitching/Monaco carbon (I installed everything myself--except the audio system which was a huge project with many bumps in the road). Tried not to go to overboard with the materials and NO solid "pimp daddy red" leather. 
The factory navi is long gone. Originally I had a Kenwood 6190, then a 9980HD, and now just swapped in the newly released 9990HD (much faster and better setup, thing kicks a** for anyone thinking of getting it). Also pulled out and sold the build-in K40 radar i had previously and installed the 2012 Race Edition Passport 9500iX radar (I installed the blendmount and wiretap to give it a clean look). From what I've heard, you can run a similar radar setup on most Lexus's. Anyway some pics.

Nice! I've been thinking about updating mine with the C3 Composites dash kit and door sills through their group buy but haven't pulled the trigger. Not convinced it will blend as well with the cashmere interior. Your setup with the black is nice though. Congrats.

Thanks. It will certainly stand out more on cashmere interior (which is not necessarily a bad thing). Good luck on your decision.

as a person who has been critical of the vette interior ( Mustang and Camaro as well), I have to say you nailed it !! The touches you added are classy and very effective at jazzing up the vette. Great job
