What does my interior need??
I need some opinions! I have the black Caravaggio Race seats with Mag red stitching with matching console cover. I am ordering the shift and eBrake boots, but I'm not sure from there! GIVE ME YOUR INPUT.............PLEASE!

More color highlights.
Door handles
Steering wheel or at least center emblem in colors.
Since it's a vert with the waterfall, you might consider painting your console to match the body paint right up to the radio bezel etc.
The boots will help though too.
Otherwise, nice seats....lookin' good!

In my opinion I think you need more color, Too much black, I like the mag red stiching, But it isn't enough in my opinion. Maybe a red console cover? Red door pulls?

Get the steering wheel redone with the red stitching. Also, the door pulls and shift **** could be done the same way. That would be a nice subtle look.
However, if you really want the interior to pop, more color is needed like Bill K mentions.

complete vette essentials or redline goods interior kit. Including door panel arm rests and sunvisor covers.
aftermarket Shiftknob/Ebrake/lighter
Metal gauge bezels
Steering wheel and passenger dash 3d inserts from cyberdine if you can locate him
lloyds floormats (newer)
Paint your interior panels smooth gloss black to get rid of the ugly fake leather finish
DVD NAV Unit
LED mod on interior
Radar detector
Gauges if you need them
thats all I can think of right now, you have to pick a theme and go for it.
I have a black interior and chose a silver/metallic theme for all those parts.
The c5 interior can look spectacular if you spend 5k on it and about a year planning haha
BTW I love the seats, if you are ever selling please remember my forum name!
I have mag red II also

Love the look. I like how you have kept it simple. How about covering the door panels in the same leather the same as the seats. The devel is in the details and where you place the sticking. Keep it simple.
Looks great! I love the mag red.

you would have a body shop remove, sand and paint the panels with car paint and clearcoat. no smell once its dry. many members have done it look up painting interior. I had the gauge bezel, door hand surrounds, radio trim bezel, center console, and trunk switch panels painted gloss black and I would never go back to stock it looks awesome
