I have always liked the design of the C5 interior, especially the sports seats. I know the GM pleather is not the best material, however since I don't really track my convertible, I stuck with the design and just improved the material courtesy of Vette Essentials!

Plus, I get to enjoy this mod every time I drive the car, no matter what speed I'm traveling.

Here is my take on an upgrade from the standard black Z06 seats. I went with sport seat foam and had Vette Essentials make a custom design for me. This seat is in a LeMans Blue Commemorative Edition Z06, thus the word Commemorative, instead of Corvette on the seat back. It's sort of like the C6 Z06 two tone seat. I didn't want too much blue on the seat since I made the entire interior into a Mod Blue set up.

The steering wheel is from DS Vettes, and they were nice enough to use the blue leather I sent them so it would match perfectly from the hide of leather I had from Vette Essentials.

They did the same thing for my steering wheel and used the gray leather I supplied from Vette Essentials!

Here's mine - also from Vette Essentials.



Here's an older pic (before the painted center console was done) that shows the seats a little better.
