Default My new RED interior...

Interior was all 3LZ all black, nice leather and feel, just a little plain:



Decided I wanted to add a few highlights. Got a set of new Adrenaline Red OEM parts from ebay, a legit Chevy dealer selling the batwing, U-trim, passenger dash pad, armrest and spear. The quality was perfect.

Then I sent my driver's door trim, shifter boot, and passenger's door speaker trim to APSIS to complete the look. I think the APSIS pieces finish the look on the doors. It took a little while to get the parts out and back, but what I received was awesome. I was a little worried about the color, but after I conditioned the leather it looks perfect. If he has cores of the parts you want I suggest you pay the core deposit and keep your car together and swap parts when he sends yours. Highly recommend his work.

Swapped the Rev Match paddles for red ones, and went to a MGW short-throw shifter with modified RPI shift ball which I covered in another thread...

Thanks!

Hardest part was that passenger's door speaker trim. You pretty much completely rip the door panel apart, so take pictures as you disassemble if you do it...

Usually not a fan but it looks great. Nice that the seats are still black.....makes it not overwhelming.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I think maybe the shifter boot was one step too far, but I'm gonna stick with it for now...

I snapped this OE red interior at the dealer the other day, and I thought the red seats were just a little too much...




Now, I just need to find a set of carbon flash mirrors like these...

Looks great. Ever think of changing the shift ball from black to red?

It's worth noting that you will need a plastic welder for the passenger side panel. I purchased mine for $8 at harbor freight and it works flawlessly.
