New Leather Interior Installed
I just completed the installation of the full leather interior from Vette Essentials (a sponsor of the forum), http://www.vetteessentials.com/ I have a 2000 Yellow Coupe, and now that it is done, it looks just like the picture on the web page.
As nice as the new interior looks, the feel of the leather is significantly nicer than the leather vinyl combination original equipment.
If you are like me and want to do something to spruce up your car without breaking the bank, I highly recommend doing a new interior with the people at Vette Essentials. The product is great and the people are fabulous to work with.
As you can see from the pictures the difference is eye-popping. If you are in Northern California and want to see it "in the flesh", please send an email to me via the Forum.
I have no vested interest in Vette Essentials. I just like to see Forum sponsor get the accolades they deserve.
Happy Holidays to All

Beautiful interior you now have in the car. VE is an excellent vendor and their products are well worth the money.

Congratulations! Your new interior looks great. 
I basically have the same set-up through VE but my seats are black and gray to match my MSG vert. Quality products and I love that you even get a map/storage pocket in the back of the seats.
Not cheap, but not cheaply made. Plus it's a mod you enjoy every time you drive the car, even if you're stuck in heavy traffic!

There was one other benefit to doing this modifications I forgot to mention. While I had the center consel out, I re-soldered the micro-chips to the circuit board for the HVAC screen. The readout had become very dim. That screen is now performing like new. That was a tip I got from a thread in the forum.
