Good luck I will watch your progress, I want to do this too but I'm going to change the carpet too. Did you get new interior parts or did you paint your old ones?

i bought used mod red panels bolster and glove box and new seat covers and all the other goodies i am adding which the new seat leather and stuff should be here next thursday i believe. I was going to add red carpet as well but figured that may be too much mod red for a mag red car. It seems i am the 1st to do the mod red interior in a mag red car. I had alot of people say that mod red would look funny in a mag red but so far it seems to look good to me

I think it looks way cool! The door panels are nice. Wanna trade? The seat skins look good too. I agree that red carpet may be too much red.
Post or email us some more pics of your black seats.

merry xmas to you too Dan! I am still trying to figure out what style black wheels to put on and was thinking the C6 5 spoke or C6 Z rims either or powdered black with the red pinstripe but that is subject to change as i am still looking at others vettes and their black rim styles in case i see a set that makes my mouth water
