New Interor and gauges
The gauges are from from Speed hut. The Speedo is a GPS It will tell uou your 1/4 time, 0-60 time, Mileage, Trip, Digital Speed, Peak RPM and speed. The tach has a programmable shift light.
They are both custom made The speedo says "Corvette" and the Gauges say "1 Mean 85"
I built my own Tablet holder...it was much harder than you would think
I covered the panels with Leather, it took me a while to find the right type ...turns out it was on my couch the whole time
...No joke I skinned my couch and it worked awesome. 
Let me know thoughts

Shamdave, I see you keep modifying the Vette. You must be proud, it's not carbon fiber, it is an awful hack job but I give you 10 for effort.

Man, a lot of harsh opinions. You might consider cleaning the plastic, making repairs with fiberglass and then painting with a flat or semi gloss black. It would probably look better than the vinyl. You can also use sheet metal and paint if you need full custom.

Did it and it looked like crap, I need new interior pieces, I like i personally I tried vinyl wrap on the pieces but it was to many sharp edges and it looked like a garbage bag

Funny thing is all these harsh opinions no one seems to have pics posted of their custom work or dont even have their car as their avatar. Any one can write a check for a car. where is the fun in that? So lets see them ladies.

I agree! Good effort, it turned out a bit wavy though. I have tons of pix of custom stuff I've done on mine. It's tougher than it looks! Mine is a track car so I left the dash out and did a gauge pod instead.

Here is my interiors from 2006-July 2011
By the end of September they will be Carbon Fibered Paint. I'm considering a DIY, but I can't do certain angles with a spray paint can. This is the pattern I have in mind.

I think the pics dont really do it justice. It looks like the leather is dirty which i doubt it does, think its the dirt. As for craftsmanship its a little back yard but i like the ideas. I think it covers too much of the graphics and accent lines so ends up with a lot of empty space. Thats what im not digging about the whole package, but considering the alternative of beaten interior or paying 100 bucks per piece, good job. get us some pics out of direct sunlight, im betting it will look better.
Still like it though. Its definately new and a take ive never seen.

Shamdave, that topic has been discussed here few times. Do a search and you will find tires, wheels, paint, interior, engines, ground effects, engine bays, all black, all red, all white, etc; and many more.
