This is a Vette Essentials Interior.
My wife picked the design and colors.
I did the install myself.
Our goal was to make it look like it came that way from the factory.
The only thing I didn't do was the steering wheel.
For a $100 install at the dealer I figured is wasn't worth my trouble.

It looks great. You kept the spirit of the 50th anniversary edition. VE makes great materials. How difficult were the seats? Did you also install the door arm rest covers and pull handles?

It took me about 4 hours per seat to just do the covers.
Leather doesn't give much.
Pulling the seats out of the car was the easy part.
Yes, I did the door arm rest covers and pull handles myself.
