Yes, we're going yellow
Did the door pulls, center console cushion, steering wheel cover, shift boot and airbag letters (all from MidAmerica during the FunFest). Have a flameball on order and plan on changing the seats and painting the vinyl this winter.
Here's what I have so far...

I'll be getting the same seats in yellow too. I tried 2 shift ***** from MidAmerica, but neither one matched the rest of the kit!

Very Cool. Love interior mods. A good way to really distinguish and set apart your C5 from mere, and, very common o.e. appearances and finishes.

Looks very nice. The seats should really enhance the interior too.

Here is a pic of mine. I went with the black with yellow piping, been about 18 mo, and the piping is discolored and faded. Now I want to get some black with thicker double yellow stitching on the console, pulls, shifter, parking brake and seats. Keep it subtle, ditch the piping.



Saw this done in a Ferrari. looked awsome. I attached a pic of it, but you can only see the dash, and its all suede, but you get the idea. Believe it or not this is factory...

Suede huh? I dunno, kinda reminds me of the velvet and velour of the 70s'. Of course, if I bring out the dice, bouncing head dog, curb feelers and dangling piping around the windows, it just might work!
