Default Getting Redlinegoods door panel covers!

Just ordered a set of Torch red/White two tone upper door panel covers. I'm pretty stoked about making the upgrade to the interior which will just be awesome when completed. I wanted the door panels to be Torch red with a Artic white panel insert to really bring out the iconic early Corvette interiors. Since the door covers are already sewn in a couple of pieces, it only was natural to select the inside panel to be white. I'm opting to keep the stitching simple and Red to be as inconspicuous as possible. This should be a KNOCKOUT!

Awesome, I'd love to deck out my interior in leather, I hate cheap plastic! That install video on their website scared the crap out of me though, and most of their photos have wrinkles and waves in them. I can't afford to try it, ruin it, and have to try again. haha

I wasn't thrilled with the final product when it was all said and done. Great price point though if you can like that quality and can do the work yourself.

I think the waves are more of an install issue. I've gotten redline stuff before for other cars, stuff that didn't have so much room for...user error, and the quality was excellent.

I wasn't implying the parts were poor quality only the potential for the suboptimal "quality" look once it's completed since there's so much potential for installer error.

I agree.....Quality will be top-notch, but installer skills are very important. All it takes is to be in a rush and the best product can be ruined. Anyone can do it, AS LONG AS YOU DO IT WITH PATEINCE.

If anyone can get it done i'm sure you can Rick. How did you specify the exact "torch red" color? By the looks of their site they only offer a "red" and by the pictures it doesn't look to be an exact match to the torch red?

Just curious because i have eyeballing a C6 shift boot from them for quite some time.

Jack(Redlinegoods) has been eyeballing my interior and I've been looking at his website.....I'm pretty confident it's going to blend in well and not be a concern.

I'm going to have other things recovered in torch red leatherette(vinyl) so I have plenty material (a roll) in the shop.

It WILL BE an INCREDIBLE car when finished.
