Default Interior change

Thinking about changing some interior pieces on my black interior to a black/torch red combo.

I might just go the easy route with the seats and get a set of Okole wet covers. I definitely want to do the shifter boot and console cover. Not sure about the other pieces because of the difficulty in doing them. Steering wheel will probably stay the same.

Probably wouldn't mind changing out the plain look of the waterfall, either.

Anyone have pics of their interior changes?

Apsis is just too expensive for me! They have nice stuff but those prices are ridiculous

miami993c297's interior looks jaw dropping amazing! Apsis does incredible leather work. Whenever I have unlimited cash at my disposal I'm giving them a call

I would like to hear some alternatives to Apsis. No way I'm spending that type of money on the interior. Definitely no way I'm spending $14k on the car, either. I would sell it and get a C6 Z with the 3LZ package before I do that.

So you would sooner spend $80K on a car that is heavier and doesn't look as good Then $14K on the stunning C5Z

That will depreciate big time too. While the C5's are not done in that dept yet, it's nothing like what the C6 is going through now. Therefore, I agree. I would spend $14k on my $25k car making it the way I want it long before I pay $60k for a car that will be worth a lot less.
