Default Interior finally finished

I finally finished my interior upgrade. I found a set of c6 seats in great condition. I then decided to pull out all of my interior and sound deaden the car. I cover everything with Kilmat and also used an acoustic foam over the wheel well and on the wall behind the seats. Also lined the bottom of the console with frost king pipe insulating foil tape. Wow what a difference. Hardly any road noise now and I can actually put stuff in the console without it melting. The stereo even sounds so much better. I bought the cosole cover, shift boot , and ebrake boot kit from ridies. Black with red stitching. I did the double din last year. But now the inside of my car looks so much better. I am just glad to finish up my knees were hurting getiing on and out of the car and squatting inside the car. I also did all LED lights. This all really updated my car. Now on to headers and cam and tuning. My wallet is starting to hurt LOL.

Thanks. It is a great feeling when people ask who did your interior and you can tell them I did.

Do you have a "how-to" on your C6 seat install? Or did you use someone else's guide already on here?

The seats look great and I have been thinking of the mod myself.

Everything looks great. Finishing a project is always fun because you get to see the finished product and know that you don't have anything else to do but enjoy it. So, enjoy it until the next project comes along.
