I ordered a set for my '98 including a console cover to match. Light gray with black stitching and outline. C5 logo on top and "Corvette" below. My car is Sebring Silver. Crossing my fingers that these are nice and fit well. I'll send in an update when finished...

I'm wondering how the console cover goes on. Does it just cover the existing (black) vinyl or is the original cover discarded and replaced with the new? THX

Take the old vinyl off. Install is easier and cleaner. The main thing is to get it completely under the 'inside cover' so everything looks clean. IF you use contact cement do not glue it all at one time. In the case of a small object like the console, I would do half.
You watch this guy and you'll understand. The guy's a genius.

Sure is. I guess they used the same factory as Interior Innovations.

They actually had today scheduled for delivery but nobody is there to sign for it. I rescheduled for tomorrow at the office so someone will be here to sign.

Pretty awesome it only took 2 weeks!

Do you do a blue that close to electron blue? I'm talking seat inserts in leather and blue stitching. In case you don't know elctron blue here is a picture.

These showed up today... not sure that this is dark grey though


Also for those of you that have done these. Did yours come smashed in a box? Do these creases work out when you install?

Yeah they were packed tightly in a box. Just let thrm sit in the sun for a while and warm up. They will then stretch and be wrinkle free.

Yes, they come smashed and if you don’t have sun(in NJ we’re trying to remember what that is), a steamer will get them out as well. Even at that point, after wrestling them into place, a hit with a steamer is a good idea.
The samples on the first page of this thread show ‘medium gray’ and “light gray” which, if that’s yours, will look great. I don’t see a dark gray.

KNEWBLEW, I think you should ask Ridies for color samples. I’m an impatient ‘customizer” and want to do things ‘right now’, yet I learned some patience and got samples from each place I dealt with and was glad I did. FWIW, when I dealt with Interior Innovations, and questioned thread color, there were lots of possibilities, more flexibility than leather colors. Maybe you could go with a neutral color leather and a blue stitching?
Also, I love your wheels, but I don’t recognize them?
