Default Redid the Interior -

I've owned my car for five years now and have slowly changed the things I did not like from the factory. Most would agree, the stock cabin left a lot to be desired. I opted for black leather with silver stitching and a few silver accents. Here is what it looks like today and I must say, I'm quite happy with the interior...

Here's a pic showing partition and custom amp rack for JL Amps


Foglight panel (now has blue LED with Caravaggio handiwork


Shot of Carskinz A-pillar done in black leather and alcantra and alcantra door handle bezels


Vette Essentials Door Pulls, Armrest console cover and shift/e-brake boots


Caravaggio radio console and shot of Eclipse HU


Another showing traction control panel with heated seat switches installed


A couple of shots of the seats (Caravaggio) and VE wrapped wheel






Final shot for now showing Homelink install location


I also installed Caravaggio leather wrapped sun visors (not shown).

So what do you think?

Thanks! I'd really like to wrap the doors, dash and headliner but can't see putting anymore money in the car. A supercharger would be nice though

Looks great. Did you have everything wrapped in leather, or buy it already done?

That is the cleanest, most tasteful and modest custom interior I have ever seen. Fantastic job!

excellent job. it really shows off how the design of the c5 interior isnt as bad as people make it out to be, its just the material used that brings it down. Your upgrades are truly classy

Very nice. The interior must smell great with all that leather. I have a black interior and am starting to customize. So far have Lloyds mats and a Midway leather console cover. Get'n there.
