Hey corvetteforum! I'll be buying a c7 real soon. Long story short, I want to know if I can buy the leather trim pieces on the dash that come along with the 3lt.

On a side note:

I just recently read/watched

This guy is awesome! He is going to save me from the $995 on the carbon fiber panel for the interior.

Probably better to just buy a 3LT. Even if you could purchase the 3LT leather dash pieces aftermarket, it would not match the (fake) leather on the doors and the rest of the car. Would not look right.

You can buy the parts at cultrag or anyone with gm parts access....

they are VERY expensive when you buy them after the fact. you can probably get a 3LT cheaper for what you'd have to pay in parts alone lol

HIHO

You can make it look like a 3LT, but it still won't be a 3LT.

It's interesting how you can buy the CF dash for about 40% below the cost of the option.

I wonder if that applies to to 3LT pieces. Of course labor is FREE if you can tackle a job like this w/o breaking anything. Then there is the potential to sell off the old pieces further reducing your out of pocket.

I have added most all of the 3 LT dash elemnts matches perfectly

I have added Trim Pad part #23427468, Upper Molding #23164483 and Finish Panel #22826759, got all parts from GM Wholesale Direct, total including shipping $652.93. All grey 3lt parts.

Did you buy the 3LT pieces from a dealer?

C7UL8TR

WOW! Thanks! So it is possible then I'm assuming they're clip ons....

I just like the fact that the 3LT comes with the additional leather on the dash. The PDR and the navigational features are nice but not necessary IMO

clip-ons and screws, looked a little complicated to me and I had an Upholstery Shop install the Upper Molding and Finish Panel and had the Chevy dealer install the Trim Pad.

I added the same parts to my 2LT in Kalahari, Patrick at Cultrag got them for me. The passenger trim pad is a little tricky since it has some screws involved but most are snap in clips.

Is is possible to purchase the Kalahari leather used in the interior of the C7 ?

I'm trying to imagine who would want 1LT/2LT dash pieces. Someone who accidentally spilled acid on theirs? Someone who got in a knife fight inside the car?

This isn't exactly on topic, but it's closely related...

I currently have another thread going on the Forum asking for input regarding the best fix for defective leather in one of the dashboard trim pieces of my Kalahari 3LT interior: https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...er-defect.html

Some have suggested that it's necessary to replace the entire dashboard, but this thread seems to indicate that the individual 3LT dashboard trim pieces can be ordered from Chevrolet and installed separately. If so, this would seem to be the ideal fix for my problem.

Following are a couple photos showing the problem I have. I'd appreciate any specific suggestions from respondents to this thread on whether it is possible/practical to simply replace the defective panel without tearing out and replacing the entire dashboard.

Thanks in advance for the replies...

I purchased them from cultrag before they changed their name. Despite what is being said on here they match just fine

You might go to your Chev parts dept and show them the part you want to order. I have added (3) 3lt Grey interior leather dash pieces to my C-7 dash, however, not the piece in your photo. The part you need appears to be GM part # 23427458. You might go to GM Wholesale Direct on line and check out part 23427458. If you decide to order this part, I would make sure it is the right part by confirming it with the dealer's part department. (2014 and 2015 should be the same interior parts) Good Luck.
