Default Mill yellow partial interior install

From this:


To this:


Its all Redline...I mounted mine just like the factory did with contact adhesive.

Now I have to buy a new set of seats because the ones I bought dont match the car at all. Pace car seats clash with the gold tone Mill yellow has. $600 bucks down the drain.

All in all I think it dont look to shabby

New stuff looks good, but too bad about the pace car seats not matching.

Thanks.. When I pulled them out the box and placed them on the deck lid my old lady said NO Way. But in the pictures online it looked so close. Sometimes it just works that way.

To my amazement the C5 interior Is so easy even a caveman could do it. I have taken apart some imports that worked my nerves but this was a breeze. Just bonding/stretching the leather was difficult at first because of the ripples but once I learned how to pull it right everything went smooth. That 30 second contact cement help tremendously so no worrys of anything coming apart.

Now for the future buyers of the Redline kit. You can reuse your parking brake boot retainer. You have to unstitch the velcro and staples to remove it from the old boot. The redline kit has the exact pattern so you can wrap the leather and bond it with contact adhesive then staple it like I did to give it that factory feel.
