Seats came from Al Knoch, console cushion and shifter boot from Mid America. Installed the seats myself using Vette Essentials instructions.

Great thread. After parking beside Napoleanvette at Bristol, my wife has "authorized" me to bling mine up a bit. Here is the list she gave me:

exhaust plate (lighted Z06 ordered), front and rear inserts (ordered), shortie antannae (ordered), hood liner as mine was shredded by a thrown sc belt (still searching) and finally - she really likes the chrome wheels. That will be a hard one to do as I have no clue as to what to get.

Here are my before pics. I will post the updated ones later.
