Let's See those interiors
Finished painting some interior parts today, just missing a few more things to complete my interior like a carbon fiber steering wheel but getting rid of that GM silver was a big plus on a tan interior in my opinion. I also used an entire role of felt tape behind all the panels and official made my C6 rattle free. I was impressed on how good the interior fits together for its year, GM defiantly made big improvements over the previous C5 interior.

No real changes to the interior except for the seats and the audio head unit.

@ltwargssf I'm not normally a fan of the tan interior but yours looks great with the right touches of black and tan. The center console looks great.
@Turbo6TA of course with the phenomenal Recaro Speed V seats.
I've added the steering wheel from 2012-13 in leather with red stitching, matching shift boot, MGW **** with red topper, C7 seats, stereo, Lloyds mats. Really improves the interior when you change all the things you touch.

Looks great and yes originally I wasn't a fan of the tan but with a few more touches it's growing on me. I'm definitely looking for some seats in the future, were the C7 seats easy to switch or did you need a custom harness for the wiring?

Some folks can do the wiring themselves but I used the Vetteworks harness which also adds a circuit to power the cooling fans in the seats. To be honest they were probably my least favorite project with this car but I'm really happy now that it's done.

Do they sit lower than the C6 seats? Big reason I want to switch mine is to sit lower in the car since I'm pretty tall.

My 2007 salvage rebuild.......note the fuel pressure gauge in place of the ashtray, and the headliner art that I also fabricated out of felt. I fabricated a number of other parts on the car.

Meh. Nothing fancy. Just a stock 4LT interior, but I've since added Lloyd's Mats.

07 with nasty silver. Have a few more pieces to send out to be coated by TKO performance over the winter, but the silver is gone along with those basic door panels. Shifter boot and new seats coming as well.

the shifter is hydro carbon. The vent on passenger side and the gauge bezel are hydro 08 pattern. And the center stack was an ebay purchase from an 08. Parking brake handle is real carbon and I believe the wheel is as well. Going to take it apart this fall and send out door lock and window switch bezels, climate control face plate, ashtray and center console all to be done. TKO does good work. I purchased a gauge bezel from performance corvette and below is what it looked like. Luckily the purchase was through amazon or I don't think I would have got my money back. I'll never deal with performance corvette again after that battle.

First mod was full build to led kit…definitely more on par with todays offerings…also the anti glare alcantara dash work
Added some carbon bits…now simply waiting on a little ZO6 decal for the steering wheel…
Pedal box and Loyds mats
Center arm rest replacement for the lazy pulled up leather stocker…now a simple microfiber small towel when I drive

Filthy in this pic and the door panels are all black now but this is mine. All the accents are Cerakoted burnt bronze and transfer grey, cupholder and ashtray delete. C7 shifter, alcantara wheel and shift boot, piano black wrapped center console, vetteworks harness bar, brey-krause belt mounts, sparco 4 points... still looking for the right deal on c7 seats but other than that its pretty much done.

They are pricey, but they are manufactured in Recaro's new facility in Michigan. The materials come from Recaro in Germany ... no vinyl or fake leather.
As with almost any aftermarket seats, they don't have seat air bags ... However, with the addition of 'seat simulators', your regular frontal airbags still operate.
