Default Mod Blue

Finally got my Mod Blue interior done. Or, mostly done. A few clean up items left, but the big items are finished. Maybe one day I'll cover the upper door cards with leather.

I do want to swap the arm rests with the ones from my old cards. I'm just afraid to try and remove them. Has anyone successfully removed these without damaging anything?

Wow I like that a lot more than I thought I would. Only change I would personally make is put the tweeters in the door handle pocket because they break up the cohesiveness of the giant speaker grille these cars have.

Looks really sharp though.

Thanks everyone, I'm really pleased with it myself. I'll be honest, I was a bit apprehensive. But it really pulls together well!

actually, the tweeter are painted to match as well. In that picture they kinda look black. But in reality they blend nicely. I used factory match electron blue for the grills to pull it together. I'm amazed at how well the leather matches.

yes, all pieces are Vette essentials. I got the seats from them when they were still around and recently asked the door cards, glove box and bolster from a member here.

Honestly, I don't know if it's possible to match it better, than what you pulled off. Don't see blue interior's hardly at all but, I give credit where credit is due, nicely done!!
