Default Interior mod idea's please

I have been thinking of doing some mods to my factory light grey seats. Could I please ask other members that have made mods to their LG interiors to post pictures. I have already looked at the Vette Essentials site but wanted to see some other combinations.

Many thanks,

Tino

I added Wet Okole seat covers but essentially all grey areas of my interior are still grey.

Tino,

Sent you pics (via e-mail) of both the '99 and '04 interiors.

VE (Ken and Sandy) do some AWESOME work. Do take the time to talk with Ken before ordering and get some ideas from him on possible interior configurations.

I ordered Fake brushed aluminum console from RK sports. waited a few weeks while dreaming of the look. whoa was i disapointed when it came. Nothing like the finish on most wood or carbon fiber out there. Looked like rustoleom spray paint, no clear coat. Sent it right back, my vette deserves better

Ken King is the only way to go, I got my used custom two tone black and grey sport seats from SteveL2, about 8 months ago and I love them. Since I got the seats I started going crazy and got the console cover, brake and shifter boots, and the door pulls. The quality of Ken King's products are amazing.

Here are some pics of the seats and the shifter boot, but the console cover and brake boot make it look 100 times better.

Tino - Ken King will make anything you want (within reason of course! ) Maybe you ought to consider adding some torch red to your interior to match the exterior. Maybe instead of the black that 98c5pewter showed - maybe do it in red.

Personally I have the Lt. Grey interior in my car, but my exterior color is black, so the black/grey combo would work best for me. But with another color on the exterior - you could incorporate that into the color theme.

Wow, many great suggestions and pictures. Many thanks, hmm red? I am trying to contemplate what would look best without going over the edge.
