Default New Two-Tone Seats And Painted Grill

Just got my seats back from under the knife and I am ecstatic. Spent about 1 1/2 hours getting them back in and all is perfect. I found out that 2005 steel gray and not the same as the later models with titanium gray. So my original steel gray seats became the donor for my new two-tone seats. My upholsterer did stich by stich the entire length of my lower covers. The upper needed nothing done so I was good to go. If you ever need any work done in the PNW I highly reccomend Bob Ketchum in Arlington Washington
Two weeks ago I installed my new painted grill. I got this from RPI and the paint is perfect. The biggest pain was to remove the front bumper. The instructions given was not going to happen. So unfortunately it had to be removed. Again, very happy with the new look.

Very pleased with both mods and looking for another before spring returns. I think a carbon fiber console is calling my name. Am I catching the Corvette sickness???

Very nice.

If that's the front license plate barely visible in the pic of you grille, has the WSP/County Mounties given you any grief about it?

Looks very nice! I would recommend the padded center armrest, from DSVettes next.

Nope, not at all. I just don't let them get in front of me.

Are those GM skins? I really like the flags on the headrests and have been told that no one has the license to embroider them on the seats.

Wow, those look very nice! I have a black Vette, so I have the reverse colors in sheepskin 'cause I seem to sweat too much in leather after about 20 minutes cruising while humiliating the Lambo's and Porsche's out there, LOL!
