Just swapped from Bright Blue to Red/Black in my 86 (C4 ) I purchased most of my parts from Corvette Central and the carpet kit from Wilcox. I had to replace everything (the car had no door panels, some carpet was missing and the blue stuff was just nasty), but the interior kits that are sold are only for replacing, not doing a color change, so you will end up purchasing parts individually, no matter what. It was well worth the time and expense, as now the inside of my C4 looks brand new. Now to get some weatherstripping replaced and down to my local speed shop for some major overhaulin'.

Hi there,
Re: the carpet that you purchsed from Wilcox. Did you buy the tru-vette one or the other kind? How does the nap/feel compare to the original carpet. The original corvette carpet is really nice.

I've done two interior swaps. One I bought a complete used interior off ebay, the other I bought all brand new stuff.

Corvette America can supply you with everything(since they supply everyone else), or you can shop around.

One thing--the door panels, if you want the correct door panels, you will have to buy a good used set since nobody makes correct door panels for 94-96.

BMG....here is a pic of some interior work had done. Not sure it will help you much, maybe give you some ideas. All of the black is from the original seats and had them add the yellow insets. Just a couple of ideas for you and your GF.
