I added a $45 fake carbon fiber center console from T moo and black round shift knob with yellow momo label from t moo or Ali b for maybe $20. Also old school silver alpine cd player with blue lighting. Really changes the interior up. Then you can always have an upholstry shop cover other plastics in leather. I haven't done that though I'm happy with the changes in the interior I already have. The first year of C5 was actually 1997. I have one so I should know lol.

It’s easy to improve the interior, I swapped out all leather for suede, double din nav unit with apple caplay, custom titanium shiftknob, carbon/suede steering wheel. Also ripped out all of the Bose system and swapped it for Jl speakers with 2 amps and a 10in. Can’t have a retro 90s car without a sound system lol

Realize the 2002 interior you are talking about really was designed in 1992. I recommend the book all corvettes are red and learn about the really down and dirty making of the c5

To me that makes it even better. It's personal opinion though some people don't like older cars like that and that's fine. I just hate when they compare them to new like its a fair fight. Comparing to something in the 90's to 00's then that would make more sense.

Good review, and I appreciate the heads-up on those LED headlights. I've only had my 2003 for a few months but it's been a real joy to drive. There's no substitute for a great American V8 in a light car with a manual transmission. Driving a C5 is a visceral experience.
@rustoutracing 3 ай бұрын
Don't get me wrong the lights are going to be great (still haven't finished installing them), but it's frustrating paying that much for a product that seems like it cut corners or is just unfinished. C5 is such a great platform, right when the corvette came into modern times but without over doing it. Still gets compliments too lol

@@rustoutracing I bought a nice power bond race balancer with a pin kit off Amazon to do because it was wobbling but eventually did it when I lost a lifter and had to rebuild the motor in my driveway (long story). The pinning is super easy and not as intimidating as I thought. All you need is a good drill and some brake clean really to get all the metal shavings out. Air compressor doesn’t hurt either. Used the arp bolt as well, runs like a champ now.
