C5 Vette Questions
1. Is there an easy way to make the C6 Stock navigation/Deck fit in the C5...if so how much does it cost [approx, the deck and the installation/custom fit]?
-Have almost given up on this.
2. How easy would it be to convert the front end (headlights and front clip to the C6 slick front end?
Thanks!

Re: C5 Vette Questions
This is what i'm worried about.
I just found a C5 in GREAT condition low miles for 16k
I got lucky...and i'm going to work on it is all
I was just hoping perhaps there was an easy way to just take the lights off a wrecked c6 or grab them from the factory, then install them? No?
I will try Corvetteforum.com, thanks

Re: C5 Vette Questions
anything is possible with the radio situation, i do know that the C6 navigation is alot more complicated the the C5. I do believe that the radio in the C6 is linked to the cars PCM. the factory radio in the C5 is din and a half and the C6 is double din +sum. cutting the factory bezzel in the C5 and fiberglassing it to look good wouldnt be a big deal to any shop that knows what they are doing. It would be alot cheaper and a hell of alot easier to go with an aftermarket nav unit. if so id sugest going with a kenwood DNX--7100. ive installed them in both the C5 and C6 vetts and dozens of other cars and they are by far one of the best units on the market and fairly cheap too.
