Hello from NY!
I just recently bought a 02' Silver C5 Auto Coupe (please don't make fun :smack: , Driving in NYC with a manual isnt enjoyable.) Pics to come soon.
Iam looking to make some upgrades. the first on my list is to change the radio head. the stock one is very dull and boring. Looking to putting an LCD touch screen. Has anyone on here done this to their ride, if so how did it work out, Which model did you buy and are you happy with it?
As far as performance goes I deff could use a few more ponies, but I don't know where to start. Can some one list a few basic/reliable upgrades and general prices.

Pioneer and Eclipse both have some really nice face units for the Vettes that you might want to look into! As far as the power goes, I think that you can gain some good extra power by doing some basic bolt ons like exaust and CAI. Good luck with your new car!:cheers:

I'm consulting with a company and helped design a new performance exhaust system that should be out soon, the price will surprise you!
A good Cold Air Intake (CAI) either DIYed or purchased is a must as well. Make sure it includes or you get a performance air bridge and smooth coupler with it.
You'll need an adapter kit to install n after market Radio, the BOSE system is of course proprietary, A single DIN flip screen will fit right in, a double DIN requires modification of the whole surround bezel...

Thanks!!!:cheers:
as far as the adapter kit goes for the Bose system, could you tell me who makes it and what does it go for?
Bose systems are great but I don't like that they don't work with other applications.:thud:

I'd do a little research though, that seems awefully exspensive to me!
