Default New DSV leather door panels installed.

Just installed my new leather DSV door panels. They came out amazing and exceeded my expectations. Thanks Lino!!!
The install was fairly easy even with me having to swap over my harnesses and cf pieces. The hardest most annoying part was geting the Bose speaker grills on to the new panels. Leather is thicker then the cheap GM vinyl so this is a little tricky in certain spots, especially on the passengers side door.
At this point every single piece in my interior except my dashboard has been redone in the two tone ebony/lt. titanium stitched leather. I'm currently looking for a leather dash or will order one during the long winter.
Best of all my interior smells incredible. It's kinda like walking into a fine leather goods store and getting that high.

Gorgeous !

Wait for it....wait for it.....

That's how it should have come from the factory !

Really, great color choices - looks very, very nice. Door panels are one of my favorite and most-wanted mods. Congratulations.

They look awesome. VERY nice. Indeed, the Corvette should come from the factory with quality leather like that.

They look GREAT, Pete - I love the 2-tone ebony/titanium.

I added DSV leather door panels to my coupe last year and am also very happy. Mine don't look as dramatic as yours as they're all ebony but the change in looks and overall feel is still dramatic.

Very nicely done.

If the Vette ever gets the interior modifications and upgrades it deserves from GM we will be one bored bunch of forum members. What would we do with our time?

So how much softer is it on the elbow when driving? Mine seems so much harder ever since I got the 2 tone leather console cover and it's loving cushioning of my right arm.

The $2200 I spent with DSVette's was THE best $2200 I've spent on my vette.

Redoing the interior has TRANSFORMED my driving experience. And my elbows seem very cushioned.
