Leather Wrapped interior mod
Has anyone actually purchased the factory leather wrapped interior pieces and done the swap?
I really like the interior but in looking for a used Z06, there are very few 08's with the leather package.
Your thoughts?

I had my center console re-done by Chris (Carskinz) in Ebony w/gray stitching to match the stitching on OEM Ebony Z06 3LZ door pulls. I added a Chevy logo as my personal touch. I saw a thread late last year on replacing the entire dash cover with the 3LZ Ebony cover w/gray stitching and embroidered Corvette name but it's very pricey. Here is my center console cover:

The only GM leather part I would consider would be the dash..its not a bad price. But as for the rest DSV for me. The interior is awesome and smells great. Honestly it smelled better than the Callway C16's I saw last weekend.

-DSV Full leather doors
-DSV leather shift ****
-DSV leather ****er boot
-DSV leathe E-brake ****
-DSV leather E-brake handle
-DSV leather Armrest
-DSV leather armrest console
-DSV 08 leather Radio bezel
-DSV leather speed-o
-DSV leather glove box
- DSV leather knee bolster
- DSV leather side dash
Radar, here are the full leather doors.

Thanks for the responses. I definitely like the DSvette, but I'd like to see it in person. I haven't seen one bad word said about DSvette, but I'd still like to see it in person. When I find the right car, I'll see if there is anyone in Houston to check out.

Won't bore you with any additional pics, but DSV did mine with an Ebony and Cobalt with Cobalt stitch theme.
That said, I re-did some of it yesterday for a different (hopefully classy) look. Still DSV's stuff though.

Thanks for the pictures shown.
I would definitely like to add the door panels and radio bezel. DSVettes has done my seats, steering wheel, door pulls, center console, shift **** & boot, and the emergency brake **** & boot.

DSvettes is in Brownsville. A road trip there to check out Gerry's shop might be idea.

Maybe Gerardo would like to give you an more complete answer, but I do know that his leather is thicker. And you have choices in color of stitching and you can even ask for different stitching.
