Upgraded Blue vette Interiors???
Hey Guys,
I have searched and searched for pics of Blue Vettes with upgraded interiors but they seem far and few! I have a NBM coupe with light oak interior and need to recover my seats. Trying to get some ideas on what you have seen. Also went to local uphol shop here and he said he used synthetic leather(vinyl). Any of you guys happy with your synthetic covers? So undecided but I know the forum will help!
Not looking to spend Vette America prices but not looking to be replacing them again in 2 years either!
Thanks!

00Rocket,
If your not looking to break the bank, and get a great quality product, then contact Double D mods. Their color matches are spot on what your looking for. IMO going the vinyl way is a temp fix solution and certainly not worthy of a car that has leather to begin with.
In the meantime have you looked at Vette essentials web-site? They have a boatload of customer interiors on display that could help you decide on your end product.

My Electron Blue coupe originally came with a light gray interior. I wanted to change it up a bit so I went with a black/gray theme. Changed out the seats, steering wheel, door pulls, arm rests, shift boot/****, center console lid and e-brake boot/handle. All items were bought from Vette Essentials. Here's some pics:

Thanks for the pics guys! I am leaning towards a DD console with Hydro carbon coated finish and just recover my seats with two tone Oak and black! Then I am sure I will not stop there! Thanks again!

All from DoubleD except the steering wheel and the shift/brake boots/*****. I did a couple of the Alcantara pieces on my own.
