Great pics, Frankie! Those Caravaggio leather dash and console pics are just plain beauteous in my book! Thanks for sharing the eye candy. Personally, there just sure seems to be a more exotic esthetic appeal to a car like the Corvette C5 when it is custom tailored with a full leather interior.

VERY nice workmanship and all, but in my humble opinion custom interiors like that seem out of place in a Corvette. It's like putting a $150000 top-of-the-line kitchen in a house worth barely more than that.

Ok,
the interior looks absolutly great but I would never take a pic with the floor so dirty. I don't think after spending that much on the interior, I would even let it get so dirty.

But in the owners defense, he brought the car into the shop on a 'sloppier than he thought' day during late November.

The interiors of our cars are plastic laden. Some go the shifter/park brake boot enhancement, other's go further, to a new SW, console, seats, and dash etc. We all have different tastes!
