Default Gucci/Louis Vuitton interior!!

I was thinking about doing something to my seats and was just wondering if anyone has done this or knows someone that did? Any thoughts or ideas? Costs pictures?

I think it would look pretty neat to get some of the black gucci upholstery(leather or what have you) to cover up all the plastic in the interior. Changing the fake leather seats would also ste up the interior.

No flaming from guys who like the bare bones corvette , you will officially be pimped

Some people do need this kind of interiors. For example EFI! Imagine that sweet black Z06 with everything upgraded:

wheels
brakes
suspension
engine
power adder
body kit

just imagine that car with some dark grey leather with embossed LV signature in black/red/carbonfiber. The car would eat girls for breakfast!

LOL! I bet it would, but I'm sticking to C/F leather with some nice red inserts. I know, I know...been done before. I just plan to do it better!

I'm not a barebones guy at all. I've seen some beautiful interiors done on here. With that said, I'm having a hard time picturing this. Without more details my first reaction is





Can you give us more detail to work with?

If LV or a Gucci interior is what you want it is your car, do it. But all I can picture is MTV's "pimp my ride". They seem to like that on the interior as well. You might want to check out a few episodes of that show to get some thoughts and ideas.

Not my cup of tea, but its your car and if that floats your boat, then go for it. Persoanlly Id stick with something like a Vette Essentials interior. Good Luck with whatever you wind up doing.

What you have hear is a great chart. If for example, we replace the red in the mod red seats to brown with beige trim. I think it could look very good on a black or even an electron blue vette. I thought about contacting west coast customs, but these places cost a lot of money to do anything. Even if i choose to do a Lv/gucci thing(highly unlikely due to price) i will make sure i take the material and have caravaggio or Vette essintials to work their magic in getting the total package. But still what do you guys think?

This may be a gucci interior but this is nothing like what i had imagined. nothing this radical, i am simply just wondering if someone would LV/Gucci/Fendi/Versache material or leather for seats and possible leather cover over the plastic.

Putting a LV/Gucci/Fendi/Versache interior in your Vette will not get you a date with Paris Hilton.

It might look good on a Lincoln, but please not a Vette.
