Default A little more progress

As I continue to plow through my winter mods, I snapped a few pics of the new seat skins and shift boot I picked up from Interior Innovations. I was extremely pleased with the result. I still have the center console cover and e-brake cover, but due to the need for clamps, glue, etc. I have decided to let my upholstery guy handle these two parts while I move on to the next items on my list. I'm eager to hear everyone's opinion on the seat skins.

They're made from 100% real leather, and thank you.

Money well spent.

Top notch sir! It's really hard to beat Interior Innovations for price and quality.

I'm going to dissent on the skulls. I find them silly, really. What message do they convey? As to the rest, top notch.

"Take no prisoners". That was literally what they were supposed to convey. Basically Corvette Racing was going to win Le Mans or break all the cars trying.

Jake is the Corvette race team mascot. He came about after the tremendous C5 racing season as a commemoration of their success.

They look good. Is your car Victory Red? If so, what color red did you choose for the seat insert and how is the match to VR?

Thank you. Yes, my car is Victory Red. Unfortunately, II only has one shade of red leather available, but it's close enough to the VR paint color that you wouldn't know they were different colors if someone didn't tell you.

Thanks for the info. I went with their Alcantara inserts that closely matched the cashmere but since I have been converting the interior to ebony, I need to choose another color for the inserts. I'm debating between black or red. Glad to hear the red is a good match.

Thanks all! I'll be posting more pics as I complete the interior, as well as of the other mods I have waiting for me to install yet. I am extremely pleased in how this project turned out.

I like the looks and color combo, although I would probably forgo the Jake.
