08 Z06 install I found this over and diy and figured I would share w/ you guys. This is one of the cleanest installs I've seen in a while.

Sorry, but that car looks like ***. Corvettes should never look riced like that. No carbon fiber. No "race" pedals. No funky colors (not sure if that color scheme is stock, but either way, it's hideous). And what's with the floor mats? And that tweeter position is absolutely terrible. Phase problems and a 90 degree angle to the tweeter on your side? Unacceptable.
Corvettes are supposed to be classy cars that can outrun just about anything. That car is not classy.
I haven't actually seen the newer Corvette interiors before this and I gotta say... Chevy really screwed up with it. That whole dash shape (well, passenger side at least), and the heater vents, all of it... Terrible. Looks too bulky.

Why do you have to be 19 to like that?
I think it's very impressive. It seems like all you guys are jealous you couldn't do something like that for your car, so all you can figure out how to do is to make fun of it. I think it's super classy. Notice how he keeps everything under the carpet so it looks stock? And when he wants to show off the carpet comes off. Everything comes together very nicely.
That's a lot of time and hard work and the most some of you guys can say is
"thats gay". The rabid amount of asshats on this forum never cease to amaze me.
Oh yeah, for what its worth, that carbon fiber is a factory option, he didn't add that. Chevy has that as an option for Corvette's. Stupid GM don't they know carbon fiber is for ricers not sports cars.

I didn't know that was a factory option, but it changes nothing.
Absolutely every little thing I listed is a hit against class.
It wouldn't be easy for me to do work like that, no, but I wouldn't want it in a 'vette anyway. I'm all about stealthboxes and retaining as much of a stock look as possible. The work itself is nice, but it's done in the wrong car and it takes up far too much space. My one stealthbox gets way past the point of pain; that sub setup is wasted anyway.

Looks a ****-ton better than most of what I've seen, my own included. I don't think the install is ricer at all.
I guess someone needs to tell Koenigsegg, Ferrari, et al that Carbon fiber is ricer....

that is a very clean install theres allot props on that one. yea im 16 but my dad said it looks clean as hell so looks like you don't have to be 19. i didn't know i nicely done, no corners cut, high class system; is "rice". i thought "rice" was bought at auto zone and done cheaply cutting corners? thats the one thing i hate about car enthusiasts (like me) if its not done "my way" its not done the right way.

No, rice is a style. If you can imagine a high school kid doing it to his 1991 Civic hatchback, it's probably rice.
And you have to be 19 to appreciate it not because it was done poorly, but just because of what was done, and what kind of car it was done to.
