Carbon fiber on Comp Sport seats?
Does anyone know wheere I can get a set of dash and console pieces to match the weave on the upper part of the factory competition sport seats? I would like to do the dash waterfall and center console to match that piece.

Great question why GM originally did not make the dash in CF to match the comp seats. When I got my '15 with Competition, GM only had the dash with matte finish. Later I found aftermarket that can supply Gloss like GM. Now, just about everything you can image, but cannot afford, can be made in Gloss to match the GM competition seats. Sadly, I have a mix.
I recommend Greg @ AutoDynamicsWest.com. Good guy. Just ask him for pictures of BOTH sides of the parts he will send you. Make sure the parts he send you are pristine, like you cores he gets back from you and have all the clips, and none of the tabs are broken off, and there are no extra holes. Quality stuff at less than most other places. If you want the best, and willing to to pay in blood, get APSIS.

Nice stuff...but I don't see the point of paying 700 bucks for the SAME piece its not like you are saving weight or the part is any better than before....plus you are mailing your core back.
But your car, enjoy!!

Pretty sure 99% of Corvette owners who are doing non-engine mods on their car aren't doing it for weight reduction. They're doing it simply because they find it more aesthetically appealing.

Looks great, Steven. GM should have made the carbon fiber option include the console instead of the cheap looking plastic currently used.
