Best way to replace interior?
Would like to replace this worn tan interior with grey.
Is there any chance of finding good used parts or have you heard of a replacement kit for a resonable price. Obviously it would need to include seat covers, door panels and belts.
Thanks for any ideas.

Vette2Vette might be able to help. If you decide to swap the interior would you please keep me in mind for the cargo carpet, the piece that covers the flooring (w/ the 2 flaps for the storage compartments) and goes up under the rear hatch latch and shade piece. Thanks

I got most of my stuff from Corvette America who will discount if you buy door panels, carpet and seat covers.
I also bought an entire interior off ebay for $700. All depends if you want new or slightly used.

Depending on the age of the car (15 y/o +) Do you really think a "USED"
interior is going to be any good?
I'd reccomend go all new.
I replaced the leather seat covers and carpeting for a total of ~$1200.00, all new materials. Factory color matching Pre-cut carpeting, and exact fit seat leathers. Got mine from Corvette America. It's a little on the steep side at first, but a new interior beats somebody else's 20 y/o crud. 5 years old, and still looks new, but it's an occasional driver now.

If anything I would'nt use vinyl dye on carpet..Corvette America has carpet dyes in a spray can..(I'm sure there are other places they are the only one that come to mind now)..But I would be afraid that anything other than carpet dye would get hard and brittle...also I have seen it in GM factory colors...JMHO
i take a look to the Corvette America side ..ok. Price is 18 dollar + fraight. But they don`t send them by airfright to europe.
Here are only the VHT avaible for 8 Euro a can, and i think it is the same
produkt inside as the CA sale. Only the label is from CA to charge it up.
I have some good expirence with the VHT at some parts of my Vette.
btw... youre avatar looks like me, when i come out of my Garage....
