My new interior from Apsis
Well I've finally got most everything installed that's going to get installed for now - door panels in ebony nappa, alcantara lowers and yellow stitching; door latch bezels in real, laminated CF; radio bezel in laminated CF; left dash in laminated CF; driver's knee bolster and glove box in ebony alcantara; center console in nappa perforated and standard leather with yellow stitching; boots and e-brake handle in ebony nappa; and elbow savers on the door panels in perforated ebony nappa with yellow stitching.
The floor mats are from cocomats.com. They are VERY heavy, premium mats with a thick rubber backing and trap all dirt without showing it. They wear like iron and are very easy to clean. Simply shake-em out and you're done. I get tired of cleaning carpet mats all the time. The rear partition is one I got from Andy's when I had my TR '04 Z. At least the red matches the Z06 embroidery on the seats.
Next on the docket will be a steering wheel from Apsis in CF and nappa leather - along with some seats - not sure where I'll get those yet. Jersey at Apsis was a consumate professional to deal with and answered all of my questions and concerns along the way. Yes, there were some minor hiccups, but with something of this magnitude that is to be expected. Jersey and his team at Apsis handled them in stride. I highly recommend his company and the beautiful work that they do!
So what do you think? I'll try and get some pics in brighter light later, but for now this is what I have. The flash really tends to overamplify the CF "bling". It looks very tasteful in person. I'm happy!

Very nice!! I went over to their booth at the AC show this past weekend. Your pics don't do it justice. In person it's a true work of art. The stitching they do is perfect.

Well since you asked ...
1. Really like the Cocomats. I had a set of these years ago but not sure they were rubber backed.
2. Don't care for CF ... real or otherwise. I like the idea of a leather covered bezel better.
3. Don't care for the way the door was done. Too many pieced parts and that means too much constrasting stitching which is going in all different directions, very busy and distracting.
4. Not a fan of the CF grain in the leather. It's the kind of grain we would emboss on an inferior side to hide it's imperfections, not a high end look in my opinion.
I know it's your car and you spent a lot of money on the mods but you asked for opinions and here's mine. If you want a recommendation on a different vendor for your interior,
PM me.

I'm suprised with all of that you still have the standard seats. Honestly, I'm not a fan of most of that stuff but you shouldn't care what I or others think. Thanks for sharing the pics, it's always great to see what others have done to their vette.
