Did you buy the pieces or paint them yourself?

These are official GM accessories purchased from Fichtner Chevrolet (CF supporting dealer) and dealer installed.

Intentionally wanted a retro look in a vehicle that gives modern comfort and performance.
Had a trim shop do a tuck and roll insert and piping on bright red, similar to the earlier Vettes. Console done in textured matte black with gloss red accents. The base 1LT C6 is inexpensive enough to customize and modify!

It's a dash kit manufactured by Superior Dash.
Believe it ran about $225.00
Different then most others. Many finishes from real metal, carbon fiber, and solid colors, even exotic woods. basically an overlay, but looks like OEM.

Tom, we communicated in an earlier post as Air Force retirees. My wife and I picked up our Monterey Red convertible at the museum and the car is awesome. I like your red console and dash pieces. Did you install them yourself? Have you considered the red on the steering wheel pieces?
