I'll see if I can get a few more pics up. I really do like getting in the car after it's been in the garage for a couple of days and getting that leather smell! This has been done piece by piece over the past four years as I could afford it so it didn't seem to bad. Nice thing about black is I have mixed and matched from three different vendors and it matches rematkably well 
In case anyone is wondering, I have used several leather care porducts and have settled on Zaino for routine maintenance and Leatherique once a year.
I do agree, I think GM laid the interior out well from an ergonomic standpoint but skimped on the quality of the materials. I have a friend who drives a Cadillac and it is night and day. I think these cars deserve at least that level of quality considering what we pay for them
Thanks for all the compliments - I'm all about the subtle!

Man I really like that, that looks really good!
The stitching compliments the Vette very well
I think it's showtime trophies and magazine worthy - send it in to Vette mag
Thanks,Matt

Somebody has to get on here and trash this, it's the rule. Has the forum gone soft on us??!! 
I keep saying that I want to go to a couple local shows but I'm too busy, lazy or complacent, haven't done it yet. I've been doing a little bling under the engine hood with that in mind. What I think is pretty cool is that I've changed over 100 things (no exaggeration) to this car since buying it and most people who see it think it came from the factory that way. This car screams for an APS turbo system doesn't it? 
Thanks for the comments, it's nice to know that my taste is not offensive to others. If the car ever ends up on Ebay, I'd hate to be called out

Interior looks awesome, very nicely done. 
I agree that the actual layout of the C5 interior is great, it just needs some material upgrades. Makes me hope my leather center console and foglight panel will show up quickly.

That's a fact Jack....
