Two-tone always looks good. I installed one of those arm rest covers last month. I frickin love it. Easy to do, and super comfy

Looks fantastic! The interior really pops. Two tone fan here for sure. I use Lexol cleaner and conditioner too as another poster mentioned. The cleaner is actually a product that works.

Nice work Sal!!! swapping those seat leathers out is not an easy task on the C6

I've done a few here at the shop

2 tone looks much nicer............and it's OEM(pricing is really good)

Two tone interiors rock. After doing the seats think about the center console, arm rests, shift and emergency brake boots.

You need to steam the leather to get the wrinkles out. Looks good.
Hot day would be good for the leather. Lay it out while you remove the other one and it will get more pliable so you can mold it.

Do Work!!

Can you post the cost of the seat covers, it's surprising how 'inexpensive' this project is to update the early C6's
