Default Suede Interior Accents

I'm looking to refine my interior a bit, and to match my seats, I'd like to re-upholster a C6 shift ****, shift boot, center console pad, e-brake handle and boot in suede.

I also have a Sparco steering wheel that's currently leather, but I may be inclined to recover it in suede as well (maybe add a center stripe to it too).

Do any vendors offer these services? I contacted Dennis but have yet to hear back.

Just a few nice refinements on the interior can make a huge impact.



Thanks all!

I seen the wheel the other day, wish I could find what where it was made and who did it. Looks amazing. Or do a C6 wheel from the centennial edition.

Dennis might do it or contact Matt at Vette Essentials and see if he'll do it. Either way, the end result will be excellent.

I used interior innovation for my suede/leather pieces. I did the shift book, e brake boot, and center console. Very reasonable and good quality.
