Default Interior *****

These interior ***** look pretty good to me. They seem to dress up any all black up interior pretty good in my opinion. Break up the monotony a little. What do you think? I'm going to order them regardless. Just wanted a few opinions on them. Sometimes my taste in only in my mouth. That's why I have someone dress me before I go out. Thanks.

When I am driving my Stingray, it rarely crosses my mind that the ***** may be boring.

When I first saw them on line I actually considered them. But after seeing them installed in a picture I decided against it. Just keep looking out the windshield at the curves of the hood and you'll forget all about those *****!

I don’t like them because it’s a really weird thing to accentuate and draw attention to. I want the ***** the disappear, not stand out.

I was right. My taste is only in my mouth! I think I'll pass. I don't want to look like a "you insert word". I guess I'll change out of my plaid pants and coat and go on to something else.

They also come in black carbon fiber pattern. That would look tasty.

Kind of looks like trying too hard just to change something.

As a friend says, "There are all kinds," and marketeers act accordingly.

In reality, I'm the worst to respond since I LOVE the really all-black interior of my C5 far better than the bastardized "black" of my C7.

Good idea Joe. If you have the urge again just sit back, and wait for the medications to take affect. You'll be fine my friend....

That color isn't so great, but I saw the blue ones and I like that a lot better. I might even like them in white.
