You are correct. Many dealers will frown on gaudy or pin-ball machine looking interiors. But that is the choice of the owner of the car. If the owner likes it, thats all that matters. It's the owners car. He/she can do whatever they want with it.

I think most Vette owners like to have fun with their cars and really don't spend much time worrying about the selling price of the car. They'll worry about that when the time comes. :)

Me personally, i like a cleaner quality looking interior. But i do like looking through these posts seeing what other people have done with their cars.

A cleaner looking interior is what has got me debating on doing yellow and black leather seats or just black and maybe a black suede in the inserts with the CORVETTE and the C5 logo embroidered in yellow.

Verrrry nice!!

I don't think Z06 Jim and his flame concept will ever approach a dealer for a trade deal. Many of these customized interiors are designed based on the taste of the individual owner and trade in value is the least of their concern. In fact, if any of these cars showed up at a local Vette show, I'm sure they could get many offers and bypass the dealers directly if necessary if they wanted to sell their cars.

I do agree that even subtle interior modifications look good as well. Replacing a stock all-black interior with upgraded black leather and perhaps some suede and colored lettering would probably appease the masses a little bit better come trade in time, however as mentioned, I don't think many of these Vette enthuasiasts are concerned.

Choreo - that is magazine worthy!

WOW - some awesome interiors for sure :cool:

Mine only has a few minor mods, but I think it looks GREAT :cheers:

It is indeed :thumbs: A friend of mine painted it for me. I bought a hurst knob and sanded it down then hit it with filler primer and he laid the color and air brushed the Superman logo on it for me.

Thanks, I did it a little at a time, got the center console, shifter, e-brake, panic and door handle covers from Redline Goods. The seat covers I got off ebay and the steering wheel is just a cover for now from wheelskins, hope to move up to one of those newer D-shaped wheels soon, maybe for Christmas! :D No, it's not quite electron blue but all seems to go together pretty well. Would have liked to go with all VE stuff but that was more then a little out of my budget. :yesnod:

Thanks!

I think it will be when it is finished (but I believe it is like a website - always a work in progress - never really "done"). I do have some new pics to post soon in a more finished state with the matching CF-Leather Glove Compartment Door, etc.

It took me a few weeks to come up with the design and materials combination that I finally went with. I was trying to achieve a more "classy" look, but still retain a hint of "sportiness" and I am very happy with the results. This is one of the many design spec drawings I sent to VE to get everything done...

The same theme and Madira embroidery thread color was used everywhere. Again, part of the goal was to make everything look like it was something that "could" have come from GM as an optional package.

SS kick plates
 

Can you tell me were you purchased those Kick plates that look like SS or polished aluminum. I purchased a car with light interior and the previous owner put some scuff marks on there that I cannot get off. Thanks

I certanly enjoyed looking at all of the fine work done here. Some of the interiors are very tastefull, while some are absolutly stunning. All look great in their own way.

For me, I don't think I am going to change anything on mine. From everything I have found to read I have one of only 15 Mill Yellow with Torch Red interior verts made in 2000. Is it worth more becasue of this, probably not. But it is unique and I would hate to change it.

Great looking interiors guys!!

Here's my interior, still a work in progress though. Seats are Caravaggio Sports:

I added a little custom touch to match my vette's name:

They work great when I go road racing since I can easily connect a 5 or 6 point harness on them:

It's your car. If you want to personalize it, don't let trade-in value stop you. The trick is, if you plan on trading in the future, do things that can be put back to stock.
Most people, myself especially, have no desire to ever trade/sell our Vette's.

What is that, an allien attack ship? :leaving:

The alien attack ship mod is so played out.

I went understated. Just leather and red stitching
