Default Mod red interior question

Hey guys,

I've got an 03 Blk on Blk Z06. I really like the mod red seats, but not the other panels (i.e. door, glove box, etc.)

What are some options here? Has anyone reupholstered just the seats in mod red? If so, did you use genuine GM leather, or did the shop custom make it? What would it cost to do something like that?

I know I could also just purchase the mod red seats outright, but just wanted to investigate any other options available to me.

Thanks,
Mike

You can buy the replacement OEM mod-red seat covers for less than $800.00 from either one of the two forum vendors:

Fred Beans
GM Parts Direct

Other than that you can buy higher quality full leather covers from Vette Essentials.

Or, you can go all out and buy custom seats from Caravaggio's.

Are they really that good?? I've been looking at these for a while. Those look great on your car and is what I am looking for.

Have you tried an upolstery shop? They could probably replace the centers with red. It might end up cheaper than ordering new skins altogether
