Interior upgrades

I was looking to put a little color and flair to my interior 2008 Z51 Crystal Matalic Red with Black interior. I was thinking Red stiched shift and brake boot with a red center console. Has anybody done this and who do you recomend for the parts. Also any other ideas with a budget of $750.

Did you get all the red upgrades in your pictures from DSVettes? I was concerened that the red would clash with the Crystal red of the exterior.

Yes, interior was originally all black (ebony) . The red I have is cobalt red.

LOL. You don't have to like my diamond plates, they're in my vette, not yours. When asked why I have them, I like to say that racecars don't have carpets.

Good point, but can't do without coffee. Also, cup holders come right out if you don't need them.

I would mix some two tone accents in the car. Either titanium or cashmere. Do your console lid first. They are about the first place most people start. DSV has awesome looking parts ($$$). Check out corvette mods console covers. They are a good bit less expensive.
I am not a fan of the red stitching in a CRM. Just my opinion.

Caravaggio has some of the most beautiful best looking interiors you can get on a C6 Corvette...

I love the Red and the White C6 interiors they put out in these pics...

They really look good.

DSVettes leather is much thicker than stock, so it probably would be hard to make it fit.
