:rock:winner of BEST seats !!!!!!! :rock: I love those seats. just don't have $5000 to put into seats right now.

+1 :rock:
Looking forward to see the final look of the interior.

My driver Caravaggio seat went back for a touch-up...
Waiting to have it in the Z to wrap a movie for all members here...
Soon I hope now.

C5inphila, what kind of seats are those??? I was gonna say A4, but they look a tad different. Look amazingly comfortable and sweet as hell! :rock:

Caravaggio... never mind.. :lol:

Thanks, everyone. Walt

Wow. . .
 

Heck of a nice job done here ! Very classy, Very nice indeed ! :yesnod:

some very nice interiors.......thanks all for the pics. :thumbs:

Nice. Is that radio bezel real carbon fiber?

Yes, the CF on the door bezels and radio bezel is real laminated CF by Apsis. Pictures don't do it justice. :cheers:

Thanks. Is it darker in person? It seems like the pictures of the Apsis CF I've seen tend to reflect the camera flash.

Lordy.....if Z06 Jim's car ever caught on fire.....nobody would notice!

Nice jobs all.....

Yes, it's a little darker in person, however these pictures were taken without flash in reflected daylight. As you say, shooting with flash just lights these things up like Xmas! :eek:

TheDVS1 thats a really nice steering wheel. One of the best looking aftermarket wheels that looks like it belongs in there. Nice find!

Thanks, it's makes all the difference in the feel of the car! After getting used to the wheel in my GTI, the one in my Z just had to go...

I Love my GTI steering wheel ! :thumbs:

Great looking interior, but what the heck did you do to the door handles?? :leaving:

Don't like 'em? I kind of do :D

:iagree::cool::cool::cool:

Just kinda look early 90's, but its your car, do whatever you want. IMO, everything else looks sweet, congrats.

The DSV wheel is beautiful! Are they made a little beefier/thicker grip than the stock wheel? It looks like it, which is great!

Love the door panels specially the handles!

If you're talking about my interior, it's a Momo Nero steering wheel. Ditched the airbag to get more options. It's a little thicker than the stock wheel, but much smaller, and the contouring gives a good grip and feel. I may have it wrapped in leather to thicken it up slightly. The stock grip is just faux leather, i.e. vinyl. Still feels nice, and the alcantara sections are a nice touch.

Done.

To me, that is a strange looking wheel. Doesen't look like it's leather covered, or?

Here are some more of my pics.

This is just funny to me because the interior of the C6 is one of the MAIN reasons I do NOT want one.

And one on RHD just to be different

Caravaggio??

Man, That's nice^

I'm actually getting my door panels, knee pad, glove box, & arm rest covered in tan leather to match my seats. I am also getting my DD center console/bezel covered in black leather by a local interior shop.

I'll post pictures when I get the leather pieces back.

Yes. :rock:

I have thought about the same thing and curious how it turns out. Look forward to pics.

Very nice! :cool:

A bump to the top for an old thread regarding some beautiful interior make-overs :thumbs:

Most of our cars are starting to show the wear and tear of being 10+ years old and you may be looking for some refresh ideas, this thread will pump some new life into your ride, if anyone has any newer pics to contribute please share, enjoy and Happy Holidays!

Can we kick start this one more time?

Sure.

I don't know if mine is considered one of the "best", however I really like it. Plus, unlike my go-fast mods, I enjoy my custom interior/stereo even when I'm sitting in bumper-to-bumper traffic. :thumbs:

:thumbs: amazing

Nicely done. Dumped some time and money in that project! :thumbs:

Amen!! Tastefully done without being overdone. Details please?

in for details on c5inphila's and DNAST1's interiors - both look amazing :thumbs:

Thanks for the compliments!:cheers: Seats are from APSIS, carpet, dash, door panels is stock, console from DD Mods, center console cushion from Mid-America, red piping from Eckler's, Kicker sound system with Pioneer head unit. All done by myself OVER TIME since new 2003.

First started with stock TR seats, added neoprene mod red seat covers (8yrs), then went to mod red cloth Corbeau A4s(8 months)(red was slightly off and cloth just didn't do it for me but red leather was not an option), and now APSIS. FINALLY HAPPY!:D

Thanks, they are Caravaggio Daytona seats. Everything else was done by Apsis, both are great people to work with.

C5inphila: how much were the seats? and do the things in the middle irritate your legs? Seems like if you had some relatively large thighs that you would be sitting partially on top those? What are they for?

Dang...some very nice and big money C5 interiors. Can't bring myself to do it. It's like burning money unless you plan on keeping the car till ya' die. I'll just wait for the lightly used C7's to hit the market.

Attachment 48179841
Nicest I have seen. Perfect!:cheers::cheers:

So - the Carvaggio web site states that the Daytona seats are for model years '05 to present. But they fit in a C5? Easily? No problem?

The seats with the "things in the middle" belong to dnast. I think they are made by Apsis.

More!!!!!! :eek:

I used C6 seats with c5 tracks because I wanted to keep the seat memory working. If you don"t have seat memory the whole C6 seat can be used , either way the seat switch needs to be rewired.

The "hump" does effect comfort or bother your thighs "soft" BUT help keep your legs in place through the turns:thumbs: Yes the seats are APSIS. Checkout link below before they sent them. cheers:

Wow! Was the guy driving wearing a red cape with an "S" on it?

The D-shaped steering wheel is from DSV (Down South Vettes) covered with matching Vette Essentials leather. I also looked at the Apsis steering wheel, however I liked the design of the DSV better because it has the extended grips on the bottom half of the wheel.

Looks cool, how hard to remove/replace?

I didn't mess with it. I had a local dealer do the work. They only charged me $20, but they charged me $75 for the oil change. :toetap:

I am pleased with my stock interior in my 2001 Coupe.

Attachment 48179849

This looks nice. I like the embossed logo. Just curious why you chose the C6 logo vs. the C5 logo?

This is really an amazing interior.

Lots of nice interiors in this thread but yours is my favorite by far...

Jim

Its very simple why i choose the C6 logo. Just notice that i forgot the circle since you told me.
You are the fist person on all the forums with this question :rofl:

Anyway, for me it is no problem with or without the cirlce. Im happy with it.

Thx,
Sjak

Wow! I gotta ask....how much?

very sharp:thumbs:

Jim:

Thank you for the comments for my stock interior on my 2001 Coupe.

Phil

At first I didn't like the C5 interior because it's kinda bland. But since I have had my C5 for 3 years now, wow 3 years really? I have learned what many of you knew all along. The C5 interior is a masterpiece in waiting. The one interior of all the vettes that you do whatever you want. Leave it stock, do a little, completely change it.

It's amazing what some of you have done.

:iagree:I have seen some awesome interiors in in this thread, I love them all, from Phil's beautifully "stock" to some of the latter totally "improved". This might be one of the most valuable threads to reach back into as needed for inspiration.

Here's mine, Sparco Roadster II seats and everything else from Apsis:
