Default finally finished my interior!

I posted a pic of my seats with new covers on them a month or so ago so wanted to share a few pics with everything installed. DJ Motorsports included a lot of free stuff with the seat covers....I ended up using the console cover, shift boot, brake boot and visor covers. I didn't like the velcro on the visor covers so I stitched them instead. These pictures don't do justice to the finished product, although the yellow is not as intense as the MY it looks much closer in person. I'm thinking that it might look better with a black console cushion with yellow stitching but for now I'm very happy with the end result.

Looks awesome, but I agree a black console cover with yellow stitches would look better.

Thanks, yes I did all the work myself, it's not something I'd want to do again anytime soon but it was worth it! The worst part of the whole seat project was getting the electrical connectors disconnected from the seats. There are installation instructions on the Vette Essentials website that were very helpful. I had never done anything like this before, so I'm confident that with patience anyone could do it.

Everyone, thank you all for the positive comments, I appreciate it.
