Real Italian leather interior Pics

Hi guys,time to freshen up my worn out interior. My 85 has just received new seats ,and living me in Venezia (Italy) i can say real italian leather interior.Near to me in a industrial district called Riviera del Brenta (from Brenta river)the top italian shoes are designed and assembled. Great kraftmanship here guys...All ours big designers made here their masterpieces.It's like Maranello and Sant'Agata bolognese for Ferrari and Lambo and Ducati...and Brembo...

here some pics i want to share...

Wow that looks great! Very nice craftsmanship. How much were they in $US? Nice job on the photo shop as well. You might do one with the same two tone and contrast stitching and see if you like it. I think it would look sharp.

Thanks for sharing.

In Italy you can upholster a pannel in genuine leather with 300 €,i haven't had a chance for now to evaluate a Corvette America reproduction door pannel,but from the poor pics they use i think they'r poor quality.
