2025 C8 of the Year Finalist - Modified

New Interior Mods

I finally added leather wrapped door pulls and arm rest pads to match my other leather goods. I previously added shift and e-brake boots, shift ****, e-brake handle and console cover. Thanks to Matt at Vette Essentials for another great job on my new door pulls.

Installation wasn't too bad. Thankfully there are a couple of good threads on the forum regarding removing the door panels. Here is a link to one that has links to a couple of very detailed threads in case you are interested in doing something similar http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show....php?t=2120082

Call Matt at VE directly for info. I don't know why, but they don't have some of their C6 stuff on the website.

Its not too difficult. The worst part is taking the door panels off. It sounds like you are tearing the door panel up as you pull it off. The thread I posted above is a big help from a how to stand point.

Thanks for all the compliments. I can truly say that they look better in person than in the pictures. I am very happy with these mods.

Now I need to decide what to do about my door button bezels. Should I go with a carbon fiber look to match my center console or should I go with a gloss black to match my shift **** cap?
