Just so you know the LV pattern isnt done on Leather its Canvas as are most signiture patterns. Possibly they make the LouiV Checker Board pattern in Leather but it usually only comes in the camel/brown colors.

I was actually wondering the other day if there is anyone out there who has the Pattern for the seats. If I had the basic pattern (or if someone wanted to give me an old skin to knock off the pattern) I could easily make some sick seat covers.

I'm more inclined to hearing Funk Master Flex screaming something stupid on his Spike TV show about how tizight that shiznit would be! Holla at your boy!

Ok, I've been reading this thread and can't believe some of you guys have been encouraging this guy. Its a vette!!! A vette is about performance, handling, and speed. Gucci and LV interior??? Why waste money on that?? Not only will it cost much more than a fully detailed vette essential package, but it will look pretty ghey, especially with skins that look like this!!!





Do you really want an interior that looks like a handbag. You might as well get this:



If you really want to go that route, you could do some shifter accents or slight seat accents but don't fill the interior with this. It'll look very ricey and you'll spend a fortune just to have people give you weird looks
Vette essentials can make you some really tasteful packages that will improve on the factory seats and leather pieces, while at the same time, give you a factory look.

Quick give Ken King a call at Vette Essentials before you do something rash.

This is extreme .....even Pimp doesn't suit it.

Do you know how expensive LV leather would be?

My G/F has a closet full of his bags.......I could sell them all and probable get a new ZO6.

You could probably just go with a little crushed velvet for the real pimp look.

A "man" riding around with (insert any designer pattern here) interior on vehicle. That's pretty effeminate. You would definitly have to have a feather boa to ride in that car.

Of course it is your car to do what you want with and this is only my honest opinion.
