Interior Mods
I finally got around to my first stage of interior mods. I figured why not use winter to do it, and keep the performance ones for the spring. I must give a huge shout out to Chris over at Carskinz. He truly does Amazing work. I am very happy with the outcome. So basically this is how it breaks down.
-Half wrapped Bezel with Piano black finish and a-pillars by Chris from Carskinz.
-Gauge Bezels, Vent trims, door handel bezels by TKO.
- Arm rests by Vette Essentials.
and yes, I am having Chris do the traction control plate for me right now(forgot to ask at the time if it could be done). I am not sure about the trim around the hud display and system buttons, i may take it off, next will be the new stereo, grab bars and so on.
anyway, it may not be to everyones taste, but let me know what you think. and I also know i need to do a good detailing job

It looks good. You may want to think about having the plastic logo inserts put on the steering wheel and on the corvette inserts on the passenger airbag. to me this is installing what GM forgot to finish.

I've loved the piano black look since I started seeing it in Aston Martins. I'm undecided about the bezels though. Love it around the gauges, but a little bit unsure of it on the other bits. It looks good on the right side system buttons, but layout on the left with the HUD control just makes it seem like it's too much bling.
But why do you have piano black center console, but carbon fiber door pieces?

My inspiration was the Aston Martin DBS. I too instantly loved the piano black upon first seeing it. Blue Dragon is right too, in person it's even better. I was unsure on the bezels around the buttons also, I love the vent ones and gauges, maybe I will post pics without and see which I like better. Thanks!
