MSG C5

Moving right through my mod projects, I am looking ahead at some new leather and trim. I have a Medium Spiral Gray vert with black interior. I really like the black and I'm only wanting to add some small accents in color. Meaning, I will be keeping the carpet and lower console sections black.

I am considering all the major forum vendors who offer their leather accents, however I'm trying to decide on the best color. Sections/components I'm considering swapping out include; (1) center armrest/console cover, (2) shift boot, (3) shift ****, (4) E-brake boot, (5) E-Brake handle, (6) door arm rests, (7) door pulls, (8) seats and (9) steering wheel.

I'm leaning towards mod red as I think that would pop nicely, however I don't want to overlook other options. Perhaps light gray or a carbon pattern leather? Maybe a black/light black/gray mix.

Any ideas, feedback, pics?

Thanks!

I have the Spiral Grey as well with the light grey interior, combination black and light grey leather and carbon fiber goes really well together IMO..

The back part of my console is painted spiral gray. The front part and instrument surround are gun metal carbon fiber. Then there are black and gray leather on the boot, steering wheel and doors.

IMHO, nothing beats the carbon fiber interior. I saw a ferrari F40 today, and the whole interior was carbon fiber. Nassssty!

Either red or ZR1 blue.

I am leaning towards some carbon fiber (like) trim on the radio bezel and center console, however I'm more interested in the leather trim. I saw some nice carbon fiber pattern leather, however I've also read that the pattern does not wear as well as regular leather due to creases, etc.

I was at a show earlier today and saw some nice mod red trim in a black interior that keeps me leaning in that direction. I agree with an earlier poster that the cobalt blue would work good with MSG sort of like how they mixed in the blue brake calipers into the Cyber Gray ZR1. Yellow is another interesting option and would certainly be unique with MSG.

IMO, a mod red theme would be killer on your car. Check out forum member Tomboy's car - she has that combo.

MSG C5

You're right. Laurie has a great car and the red does look great. I've joked with her in the past that we have twin cars in terms of the mods we're working on. I'm leaning in a similar direction, however in the end, I don't think I will have as much red as she does, however will probably mix in more carbon fiber.

She is an inspiration!

I now have the hydro carbon radio kits for you to add a single din aftermarket radio and blend in the hydro I am waiting on pics to be sent back to me for the first one I sent out. Watch for mor einfo.

I have the same hydro pattern in my car

When i get my bezel back from Chris at Carskiz I will have the double din no ash tray with black hydro carbon and half wrap i can show you
You should have an email reply as well

I would think the Monaco pattern hydro would look great.

Accent color--sounds like my wife when we redecorated our family room

MSG C5

Thanks Dennis. I would love to see that before I make my final decision on the finish.

MSG C5

...actually, I'm more passionate about the Vette than I am about my family room. Perhaps your wife has some suggestions!

I haven't taken any pics yet, but I too have a Spiral Gray Vert. I've just completed my interior with a complete Vette Essentials kit. I had the light grey interior and I just put in black and gray seat covers, armrest, shifter boot, brake boot, door pulls and armrests. It looks pretty sweet. I also want to change my speaker grills from gray to black then I'm done. I'll probably do a double din install painted in gloss black or Spiral Gray.

On another note, did you put you ACA headlights in yet?

MSG C5

Yes I did! They are absolutely fantastic combined with the HID fogs and the LED Halos and other LEDs. I need to get some pictures posted. Looking forward to seeing your new interior pics as well. It sounds like you and I are working on similar mods and I would love to see your black/gray seat covers, armrests, shifter boot, brake boot and other upgrades!

for what its worth
i would go spiral gray on the double din. The glossy black ones are real nice looking for about 1 day. Then every little spot shows from getting in and out of the car
