Since I want to keep this car factory-appearing, the cosmetic and interior changes have been kept to a minimum. Here are a few shots of what I've done.
I'm not into mega-watt stereo systems or anything like that; I'd rather listen to the sound of the exhaust as I row through the gears! But, a tape deck is useless to me since I only own CDs. I replaced the original radio with a 2002 Camaro Delco CD player. I used a Delco wiring adapter to make it a plug-n-play operation.
The center console top cover was modified with a C5 Corvette leather shift boot and a cupholder.
The original ashtray and light were removed, and I added a light inside the console with a toggle switch. When the headlights are on, just flip the switch to illuminate to box!
Here's my "Hurst-equipped" badge, since I'm running a Hurst short-throw shifter on the T5.
I got some templates for the quarterpanels and trunklid from my buddy Kevin, built the side boards out of MDF and trunk piece from thin plywood, then carpeted them. The piece up on the rear shelf is removeable, and covers all of my detailing equipment and tools. The spare tire cover was pilfered from a Jeep Cherokee.
The headlights are from a 1990 Celebrity, mounted inside Lauren Engineering brackets.
