Default Downsouth Vettes...again. :^) Lots of pics.

When you've gone through your interior bits and put in some nice accent pieces from Gerardo what do you do next? Do it again of course... Gerardo has recently come out with a new line of carbon fiber look leather and I wanted to try it out with my new carbon fiber look center surround and bezel pods. I picked a new shift boot and a new ebrake boot with a contrasting cobalt red stitching to go with my red stitch sunvisors and my red top center console cushion. I think I like it. Here's a few pics of the product and the install.

I guess I'm just a smooooooooth leather kind of guy. It just looks bumpy, it doesn't make me think of CF. Maybe it's just the pics. The close-ups look better. Interesting and different.

Looks great.

Maybe if I stop doing house mods I might be able to do a little more to my car...

Thanks Rick. All opinions welcome. I know it's not for everyone. I just had to try it.

Thanks Tom. Gerardo is always just a phone call away.

This go 'round took about 30 minutes for both pieces. I've done the boots before so you get pretty good at it with a couple of installs. If it is your first time, set aside about an hour.

Thanks Jon. Man, does it ever stop between the house and the car. I think the house is the right priority. You always get your car to another level.
