Looking for a recommendation for a so/central Florida interior shop. Thinking about having the interior redone in leather. Above my “do it yourself “ pay grade!
Would also appreciate an idea of ballpark costs. Upgrade would be seats, door panels, dash - pretty much everything that’s vinyl. While I’m at it, I would probably want to upgrade the carpet too.
Did post this in the regional forum - broadening my inquiry here.
As always, appreciate hearing back.

 

Katzkin.com is where I would start. They should also be able to recommend a local installer.

I had a truck interior done with Katzkin leather seats a couple years ago and I couldn't have been happier. If I recall correctly is was about $1500. You pick the leather, the stitching, the colors and I had a custom logo embroidered in the head rests. You won't be sorry if you go with Katzkins.

Good luck.

 

Thanks Iceaxe - going to take a look at Katzkin now. Assume the $1,500 was just for the seats?

 

Odd - just pulled up Katzkin and Corvette is not a vehicle option.

 

I’ll second Katzkins. Had the cloth seats on my former Mustang upgraded to their leather. Was very happy with the results.

They do look good. Very curious why “Corvette” is not a model option. Did you have them do door panels too?

 

No, just the front and rear seats. Had a local shop order and install them. About $1700 total (including labor) if I recall. They had a variety of styles and color combos to choose from. Thought they had some for Corvettes as well.

 

The $1500 was front and back seat and the console.

You might want to look at this thread where Katzkins are installed in a C6.

10-4! The odd think is Katzkin.com does not list Corvettes.
Autoseatskins.com, authorized distributor fo Katzkin does. That, along with the link you just sent me, shows that they do have kits for Vettes.

 

Take a look at JF Customs on eBay. High-quality leather pieces that are pre-cut for those areas you mentioned. You can attach them yourself or take them to an auto upholsterer for install. I did my previous GS in a lot of their pieces ( center console, door sills, rear speakers, b-pillars, interior halo).

 

I concur with JF Customs. He has patterns to cover just about every interior part in your C6. Order the leather as custom as you'd like: Basic, upgraded leather, custom stitching, inset panels, etc. I had a local installer apply door panels, and then I did final installation. I think the door panels cost me $350 + another $500 for local upholsteror to glue and install, and I spent a LOT of DIY time finishing the job. An installer could finish the job but it would just cost more $.

 

JF custom, Redline goods, Ridies probably have the best prices. I picked up various pieces from each of them. I installed myself but I recall some members found decent prices from upholstery shops to do the work.

 

carravaggio in toronto canada did my full int 10k us

top grain leather 1 yr waiting list
door panels console shifterboot shifter **** dash pad hand stiched he is the best google caravaggio toronto canada

 

never use this canadian... he will make excuses, keep your money, and string you along for years....

the product may look great, but im well over a year waiting for my product...

going to be hiring a local attorney shortly as he clearly has no intention of delivering my seats....

 

sorry to hear about your troubles with john caravaggio is product is very good what has his people say about non delivery

 

non communication, constant lying about why the product is taking so long, they've got a new excuse in their bag about covid.... he's got his wife and kids lying for him now....

when did you order your seats? and how long did it take for you to get them?

 

Thanks to everyone for their advice. Been out of pocket for a few days so forgive my “late” thanks. Not sure yet what I’ll do.
Would love to change the black/red interior over to all red. Red interior with a white car is classic!
