I had a real problem with JF customs passenger door leather. They were making it an exact mirror of the driver door which doesn't work on a C5. I am not sure if they resolved the issue. It is cost prohibitive to have to send the leather back to England for return.
The rest of the leather I got from them was good. Just not the doors.
After months of trying to resolve the issue with JF I gave up and bought redlinegoods leather which was recomended to me by above member Choreo. Glad I did.

I have bought shiftboots,E-brake and console covers from Redline in the past. I like their products. I wish they had the C6 door panels available. It looks like they have really good detail on how to install the door leather.

I cannot comment on JF boots/ customs C6 door panel leather.
I can only comment on the problem I had with their C5 passenger door leather.
You can contact them by email if you have concerns.

I have a JF dash leather but I would rather have one that matches your doors better. I'm not crazy about the way the lines flow on the JF. I would also like to see a grab handle that is more cohesive.
Don't get me wrong. I am not throwing JF under the buss. The quality is good for the price on most of their pieces. I just think it could be taken to another level in terms of design. The devil is in the details.
You can find good deals on dashes if you find them locally. The shipping on them is what is cost prohibitive ~$150. You can find a dash for $100 without HUD. It doesn't have to be in good condition.

The thing is that our design shop is in Poland and finding a $100 dash over there is impossible - $450 is the lowest I managed to find. However, if I find at least a few customers interested I will do that

For me, I would want an improvement in esthetics over the JF unit.
I have some work that needs to be done under my dash soon and would like to know something in a reasonable time frame. Keep us up to date.

I would but have but already installed the JF custom leather to my doors. It would be near impossible to remove.
I would love to see what you came up with though.

Well, there are a few Vettes here indeed, even 1000+ HP ones :-) Or even a 1600bhp 4x4 C3 
Anyway, challenge accepted, I am searching for C6 door panels and C5 dash for prototyping :-)

I wrote to you about the C5 dash quite a while ago. At the time I was the only one interested in it, so it was a little too expensive for me to do alone. But I'd definitely jump on it if a group gets you to make it. BTW, a cover for a C5 double din radio bezel would also have me interested. Black with red stitching?

I suppose if a cover was made with two stitches that ran down the side edges, you could leave the center holes uncut and allow the installer to trim as needed. Which would probably work for both single and double din console covers as well.
