Default Leather interior upgrade ?

I don't know if any of you folks have gone as far as sprucing up the interior of your Corvette, I am in the process. But I can recommend one of our sponsors, www.redlinegoods.com products, or I should say, I can "Highly recommend" Reline leather goods for the leather parts on your Corvette interior. I bought a set of samples from them $10 bucks and then you can put any combination of color leather 'Two Tone and contrasting threads of your personal desire of colors and threads for an arrangement right down to the thread colors, everything that you'd like. And if they don't stock your choice of the standard threads, they'll go find it for you. Whatever you want !

Great people to work with, excellent communications, I spoke with a representative named "Maciek" who can answer any questions you might have, and since he's/she seen just about 10.000 color and thread combinations you can think of, his/she advice is invaluable. But the absolutely best aspect of purchasing a shift boot and or the Emergency brake handle boot. I bought both, is when you open the envelope the feel them & price will shock you, you can't believe they do that much and can provide it for such a bargain price. But the best is just how soft and pliable this leather is. It feels like liquid dish-washing soap & water to the touch. Very, very soft and feel.

I bought the Emergency brake handle and the shifter boots. And they provide a really professional look, touch and fitment. This sponsor's company is truly a gem if your thinking of swapping out the old bland shift boot with one they can build for you in any custom color combination and once installed they look once again, something GM would have fitted your Corvette if they had the time and money. But once you feel this really top grade leather, in your colors and either single of quadruple thread and seams you too with be surprised. Very close to the best time and money I ever spend on my 2003 Corvette ! Give them a look and I'm sure you'll be pleased. www.redlineGoods.com

Vendors that sell quality products at a good price with strong customer service thrown in are a great find and luckily, we have a lot of those here on the forum. Have heard a lot of good things about Redline Goods - and it's great that you are pleased with them. How about some pics of your new stuff?

Maciek, the customer service fellow was VERY PATIENT with me. We talked changes and what it would look like by email five times about what colors look good with this or that color, And all the while he's telling me that "That' particular thread is going to disappear if I wanted to go with that ?" and that if I picked red, keep in mind it's only going be one of the backup threads" But it took nine emails for me to pin it down and even after he sent in my order I asked to change it and would that be a problem? And he said Yes, it's going to be a problem, . . but he would change it one more time If I promised not to change my mind anymore? But this company does impeccable work. I haven't been about to take out the console to install the two shift and emergency brake lever. I will post pictures later.

But once you feel the leather you'll soon realize what is Real craftsmanship in finished leather and whats junk. Even the $10.00 samples, you can feel all the leather fitness. Producing high guilty leather, It's called 'Koffer' in Germany. But in short, you would be doing your self a big favor in just get the $10.00 samples and sit in your Corvette and change the colors in the stock shifter and E-Brake boot. I promise you will be astonished in the samples color creations you can have, and they REALLY spruce up a cars interior. Of course they sell a lot of different leather products. look them up at www.redlinegoods.com Great people !

I agree. I fitted leather from Redline Goods a few years ago. Great products and I'm still happy with the look after all this time

Default Interior Off

Why not start an "Interior Off" - all vendors are welcome in and then they get to choose one to represent them.

Possible judging - quality of work: attractive: Value for price paid. Could be very interesting.
