Got permission from OP to post this so we don't high jack his thread.
It seems some customers are interested in upgrading your C5 aging seat to the C6 seat like OP.
We have one set of 05-11 C6 Seat Skin in combo of Ebony Nappa Leather & Torch Red Nappa w/Torch Red Stitching w/Flag Logo on headrest available. You can purchase this Seat Skin and mount to the 05-11 C6 Seat or we can sell you a complete C6 seat with frame, foams and the Seat Skin installed so you just mount to your C5 direct.
I do ask OP how it works to mount the C6 seats to C5 and he says he has no problem. So that's why I decide to offer this C6 Seat Skin to C5 customers. For more details, you can talk to OP direct. OP's C6 Seat is 2012-13 but ours is 05-11 version. Basically it's similar.
Price: Seat Skin only $1688/set
Price: Complete C6 Seat properly installed with the Seat Skin $2500/pair
Well, I did it. I installed my leather door panels today. Overall the process is not too hard. Here are the issues I had:
Although the clips were aligned, the holes to put the torx bolts back in, behind the door handle never lined up. I eventually got both passenger side bolts in after a struggle, but got so frustrated with the drivers side, that I had to leave 1 bolt out. Everything still works, but I know there is only 1 bolt in there. My GUESS is that adding leather, etc. changes the alignment just enough to shift things around just a bit. (I believe that they break the door panels in 2 to install the leather, but I am not sure.) You'd think that if all the clips were aligned, the bolt holes would line up.
On the new drivers side door panel I was a little frustrated with what Apsis did with the cover behind the door handle. While both of those small pieces (1 for each side) were covered in leather, on the drivers side it was attached to the door panel with glue because the clips were broken. You can't attach something with glue that needs to be removed to get the bolts in. That was frustrating. I may just put a regular, uncovered one in it's place. I actually tried that at 1st, but then the little clips on mine broke because I don't think the leather was cut away enough to allow the clips to take hold. I glued their piece back in, after I got the 1 bolt in. Not sure if it'll hold.
I have a short temper so those 2 issues ticked me off, probably more than they should have. I kept concentrating on those things and not the fact that visually, the door panels are stunning and the leather work and stitching is fantastic. They match my interior black and red theme perfectly.
Below I will attached photos and a video.
The video has music to cover up my suspiciously heavy breathing. I was playing around with my new phone.
You sent me into a laughing fit with the suspiciously heavy breathing comment. That really sucked considering I’m trying to recover from the flu.
Interior looks phenomenal. No more jokes though or my wife will take my phone away for sounding like a dying camel who smoked cigarettes for the last 30 years.
