I don't have any idea. But it's partly why I follow these threads, to learn more about my OLD '71 Coupe! Does it (your Corvette interior) really need this repair or upgrade? I have a 2" long split in my driver's seat that I've learned to live with, and there's a wear-hole in the carpet under the clutch pedal that doesn't look too bad. My black floor mats don't EXACTLY match the original black interior carpet, but they work just fine. HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!

as shocking as it sounds it's about right on the money. I priced out alot of places while overhaulin' my interior and Wilcox seemed to have the best prices. Wilcox Website Try them out on getting you a price on what you need. Now I was gonna order all stock stuff from them for about $1600.00 and the person doing my interior was gonna charge me $500.00 labor to put it all in. That's when I talked to him about going custom and he said no more than $2200.00 well The price was about the same and I decided to go custom so that the car would have more of a "personality" something that matched me! So Im getting some embrodery(sp?) in the seats and door panels. This was car in November.



Now Im just waiting to get that call that it is done! This person that is doing my car is awesome I have seen his custom work and was totally impressed!!!
Here a few of the guys work:


that is an automatic shifter but he hand stitched a leather boot to make it look stick!

Pricing doesn't sound out of line to me. It's less then it cost me to have my seats re-done with leather and new foam.

Not sure about this particular item but during my price comparisons The Last Detail always seems to beat or match competitors prices.
