Default Best interior mods

Looking for C6s with great interior mods. Anything from an extra cup holder to a new dashboard or better seets. Aundroid Auto or Apple CarPlay.

Any and all mods or upgrades are appreciated.


Thank you

Caravaggio everything if you don't have a budget, or I would go with the steering wheel and seats on a budget. Center counsel trim bezel is another mod if you have an older C6 and want a newer look.

Best mods are those that don't add 50 Corvette logos to the interior.

Change out lights for the interior and a armrest pad should do it.

LED lighting, armrest pads, steering wheel, new seats or at least the seat repair kit for driver seat, shift ****, upgrade stereo...

Since the pic below, I have upgraded the center console/dash bezel to one with leather trim & I dyed the stitching orange & I have a matching passenger HVAC vent bezel on the way.

My driver's seat side bolster was torn. I almost went with the seat upgrade but went with the simple foam repair instead. Right after that, I got the fuel leak problem, which I must get fixed.

My point is, how much do you want to spend upgrading an older car, knowing that you might have mandatory expenses down the road? My '06 is only worth around $24,000 retail.

My daily driver has a back up camera. I would like to have that in my Corvette.

As for armrest pads:

Who among you bought just the cover, or a new padded door complete?

Tips, recommendations?

I was going to buy the DSVettes $220 padded door advertised here, but haven't done anything yet.

Those rear painted Waterfalls are defin nice but a little expensive at almost $400 each but I think they look awesome. Something I will defin consider in the future.

I'm thinking maybe those dingle ***** across the top of the windshield and maybe the deer whistles on the front fenders. Be careful how you mount those though. A friend of mine accidently put them on backwards and deer would follow him home all the time. Anything chrome for the interior would be great. It will accent GM's quality black plastic. Get yourself a J.C. Whitney catalog and go nuts!
