The Hurst **** cuts 1.5" off the stock height... much better shifting feel.

I asked the question: neither one fits the stock shifter, at least in my '08. I like the gripper and the race ****...

Nearly all of the above look better than OEM. Here's the ones I just had redone by Leatherseats.com, along with a ton of other interior parts.



and if you do shifter, you just gotta do your Emer brake & boot

A couple of you have almost the same exact interior as mine, but not exactly. Gotta love all the variations that make it exactly your own!

Is that upper console surround/bezel padded leather too? The upper part going around the radio and A/C stuff, and around the shifter boot and cup holder, etc. Where did you get that from?

I gotta get one of dem!!

I had Leatherseats.com redo all the interior parts in a two tone leather scheme with blue stitching. Door panels, console lid & base, shift **** and boot, emerg handle & boot, both cluster pods and radio bezel. DSV did the DStyle steering wheel.

You can see all the pics in this thread

Andrew, you should look into ordering a new 4lt leather dash from GM with the yellow stitching, in ebony, or getting the equivalent done by DSV. That would really tie up your interior nicely. Looks great though-love the carbon

How does that carbon leather feel; soft, smooth, or rough?

Not doubting the quality, but that is a ridiculous amount for four leather items. I have redone the interior in several other vehicles including my old Supra. Leather is leather. Sorry, but that is corvette tax at its finest.

It does look fantastic though
