Default Finally Arrived!!! Satisfying my Carbon Fetish

My seats, steering wheel and shift **** arrived today, and I have to say they were absolutely worth the wait! Pictures do not do these things justice. The quality in the materials and the craftsmanship are absolutely first rate. I can't wait to get them installed.....

Apsis: Super Deluxe seat, steering wheel, shift ****











American Hydrocarbon: Gauge Bezel





Double D Mods: Center Console

Looks good! To me, it seems like those seats would actually be uncomfortable with that thing in between the legs? I know it's probably not, but it just seems like it would be a little odd.

Definitely digging all the leather.

Scared to ask how much? But I'm sure it's worth it! Those look amazing how does the carbon all match up beings it looks like some of the parts are from different vendors?


Can't wait to see install pics congrats

Not to worry, the interior is not getting all of the love







And yes, this stuff (including other stuff not listed) adds up to more than the cost of the car, but I would have still done many of the same things even if I bought a C6. The only way I would have not had to do hardly anything would have been if I spent 100K on a C7 Z06 (still would do wheels) and I'm nowhere near that. So I see it as a bargain.

Looks great! I'm still a few weeks out. Waiting on some additional items that should be here next week. Then it's off to the body shop so that they can finish the hood install.
