OP, great idea for a post- I see many really beautiful interiors here.

My Vette Essentials interior in pewter leather. You can see from the photos that it is fairly nice match to the exterior. I was lucky to get one of the last sets they made. Gonna' miss them, I'm buying another C5 and was going to have them do another set for me.

Since my C5 will more than likely come with a black interior, I will be looking to do something similar to yours. I would probably want to do red/black seat skins, paint the lower half of the door panels red, maybe some red accents on the dash/console, and probably some red floor mats...yours looks amazing!

Don’t minimize your style.
The white accents are very striking!

They are all very nice. Do you guys do your own work, or did you have a shop do it?

I replaced the seat covers myself. It really wasn't that hard to do. Since my covers were aftermarket (Interior Innovations) there were some fitment issues that I ran into but I worked my way around them.

It actually was fun and satisfying to know that I did it myself.

Found this on an older post. Anyone know who makes a carbon center radio bezel like this that has the leather wrap on the center console around the e-brake handle?

It's still great to see all of these nice, custom C5 interiors as we all know, compared to the C7, the C5 interior had a lot of room for improvement.

In my area, really nice, well kept C5s are becoming a rare sighting. Even at Corvette shows, the numbers are down.

DD Mods used to do it, but they are gone now. I also think Vette Essentials did also, but I understand they are gone too.
