I always knew that the early c6 corvettes had a crummy interior and I thought I could cope with it when I purchased my 2011 IO z07 in august of last year. Well I was wrong!
I swapped to a 2012 steering wheel within days of ownership. Over Christmas I did the 2012 seat conversion. This weekend I installed the gm accessory pedals. I also installed a mgw and at the same time some dsv leather which included a shift **** and boot as well as a new e brake handle and boot. I ALSO TOOK CARE OF THAT STUPID SILVER E BRAKE BUTTON THAT DID NOT MATCH A THING IN THE CAR!1!!!11!
Finally I have an interior worthy of my 8k mile Z!
What am I missing on difference in steering wheel? Is it thicker wheel on 2012 and with the thumb grooves? Maybe need to pop out to the garage and look to see what I might be missing. Can't remember if mine has that...as I just got at the end of summer and been in storage for winter for past few months...lol. Looks good anyways.

Nevermind. Thicker with thumb grooves. Damn it. Need to upgrade my steering wheel.
The old e-brake button better matched the chrome rings on the magnetic ride **** and the shifter/cup holder trim....
Just kidding man, the car looks fantastic! While less passionate about it, I do like the way the black button turned out.
ENJOY that amazing car!
I originally thought the e-brake button didn't match anything when I first got my C6. Then I realized it does match the door lock release bezel and the shift **** top cap. I decided against changing all of those other accents to black so I kept it silver.
Great job though! I did a similar conversion myself (2012+ steering wheel, shift **** and boot, ebrake and boot, DSV console lid, and those same pedal covers). All the interior pieces are black with red stitching. Made a big difference. I also colored the stitching around the center console red. I would love to do the 4LT door handles one day, but those are so expensive for what they are.
Anyways, I absolutely love those seats. I would love to do a conversion one day, but it seems like a ton of work. How much did that seat conversion run you? Also, did you have to drill for that dead pedal cover? I never got that one. I remember a reason why I didn't, but I can't remember now haha.
Just saw the picture of your car below. Absolutely stunning man. I love that color so much. Jealous! Hahah.

The e brake button doesn't match the shift **** or door bezels in the 2011. On my car those pieces are a brushed aluminum finish. The dead pedal cover sticks on.

Mine are brushed aluminum as well in the 08. I believe that is the year they changed, but I could be wrong. It obviously isn't a perfect match, but at first glance they all have a silver-esque color so I was okay with it. It would've been better if GM made the ebrake button brushed aluminum.
