When I was looking for a C6 the black interior was in 95% of the cars I looked at...I ended up with a silver with red interior and think it looks great , the red really caught my eye...Color is very personal , you either like a color, or you don't...I think black interiors are pretty universal , and if you don't love black, at least you can live with it without any problem.....WW

Well said. The classic gauges are a must.

I've seen a lot worse interiors when it comes to style......the C-6's aren't that bad. But they definitely could have used a little higher quality materials in some areas.

I agree with the OP. I like the lighter interiors but the cashmere has the black on the dash and doors. The PO of my Vette added VR to the console and dash. I have tried to incorporate the three colors together with the changes I've made but I haven't been completely satisfied with the results yet. I think a red Vette with white and red interior would look cool.

I'm partial to black but do like contrasting stitching. I think it looks classy and gives a little more premium feel to the otherwise lackluster materials. I've done several mods upgraded my seats with alcantara inserts and titanium stitching with matching padded armrest, shifter/emergency/boots, and Dennis from Double D Mods did these amazing matching leather covered door panels for me. You can't see very well in the picks, but they have titanium stitching and alcantara inserts. Finally I took apart my radio console and painted it flat black to cover up the cheesy (IMO) fake carbon fiber. Really changed the entire look and feel of the interior.

I think at the time they were about $1300. 2012 OEM 4LT seats.

I swapped the new 2012 covers and pads to my 2010 seats myself.

I've had enough light leather interiors to know, I want black......just stays looking nicer for longer.......and my cobra had the grey alcantera inserts, and although it looked and felt nice.....it eventually started to ball up and and get looking a lil worn.....

Never liked the dark red in the c6.... But the c7 bright red is a winner.....

You cover it with towels etc to protect it, but a 2 year old Cashmere interior will look old just from "clean" dirty feet. Yes, black does get hot, but I defy you to find the spot where I dumped a strawberry ice cream Sunday in my 2010. Hint...it was in the passenger floor well.
