SAMMAN,
Your whole interior looks so beautiful and much more luxurious than the factory stuff. Did you also cover the pillar posts and header molding? Did you do this all yourself or did you hire a trim shop? Did you have any clearance issues (everything now being a little plumper than original)?
I'd love to hear anything more you could tell us about the process: prep, difficulties, lessons learned, price, etc.
I swear I've been thinking about something VERY similar to this for a while but was sure it would turn out looking like crap. You've given me new hope. Thanks.

They are a forum vendor:
http://www.caravaggiocorvettes.com/
They specialize in C5, C6 and C7's.
There were several materials and processes involved in the fabrication of this interior.
In entailed specialized work such as carbon fiber fabrication,leather wrapping,double stitching etc. I don't think this is type of project that l would be comfortable attempting on my own.
Please contact John Caravaggio for prices.

Picked up some wheel centre cap emblems from eBay, come in a set of four. I had to cut them slightly smaller using the generic button that came with the steering wheel as a template. By the third try it came out perfect.
