contemplating changing the interior
I own a 2019 Grand Sport 2LT, Shadow gray, black interior. I am contemplating changing the interior color to red. Probably the 2LT pieces. Any suggestions as to a company that can do the change? I see LeatherSeats.com in Oklahoma City makes the leather pieces but I don't know an upholstery shop that would take on the project. I live in west central Florida, Leather Seats is in Oklahoma, 19 hour drive. Ideas?

Occasionally you will find another member either selling or wanting to trade interior pieces - and sometimes they are red that are being offered. Check the C7 Parts for Sale section for any listings. Also, check with a used parts vendor like aescorvetteparts - they part out wrecked Corvettes and they may have what you are looking for, or at least some of the components.

Personally, I'd purchase adrenaline red OEM GM components from one of the GM parts distributors who sponsor this forum and have the best auto upholstery in your area install them. I've found most upholsterer's to be fine with installing your OEM components.
You might check with your local Corvette Club for recommendations as to which upholsterer to use.
Problem with using 'used' components is that there's a good chance the seat bolsters will be worn/scuffed as they very often are.

I am currently waiting on a set of seat covers from Ridies to change out my black interior.
Originally was going with the seat covers that go over the existing covers. The Ridies are actual seat covers and require
that you remove the OEM covers. I am going to give these a shot.
Got samples of their red seat material. Actual leather and it wasn’t that more expensive than the pull overs.
Going to try to do this myself. Changed the interior on a C6. However, there isn’t too much info on recovering the C7 seats.
I am planning on doing the console lid. Possibly the side trim and/or the batwing.
The 2LT also has the door arm rest the interior color. But, way too expensive to just change door panels.
Good luck. BTW, any decent upholstery shop should be able to do this. I am just cheap😅
