Yes covered it myself. Had the stitching done that was the cost. I didn't like the ones I have seen for sale. It turned out better than I thought it was going to.

do you have and will you share a soft copy of the artwork that you gave to whomever did the stitching?

It looks great...

Very nice! I'd pay $50 - $75 for one like that. Unfortunately, most vendors would sell them for $150 - $175.

How many would you like? (I will have to put these in the For Sale section I know)

How about this, Any stock Corvette interior color and any color stitching you would like(Lettering and Outline). Match your Paint color or Accent it!!!! If you want a custom matched interior color we would have you send the material for us to use that way there is not a color or grain varince. Shipped to your door for $69.99 Cover Only

Personally I'm on the fence about it, but very nice work, and a great solution to your problem.

Nice!

Be aware though, GM liscensing will be all over you if these are sold...You may want to contact EMI, Equity Management Inc about using a GM trademark.
