I have added a red dash pad, batwing, and small trim piece around the grab bar. Total of my time was 3 hours of contortion. I have the door panels left to do. I don't want to buy 3 LT panels, so I am having an upholstery shop do those red strips on my panels. It goes in March 18th for that.
The question is though, is the grab bar itself black in a 3LT or is it also red? I found the trim underneath in red but not the grab pieces themselves. One small piece goes in the front and one in the back. I can have the shop redo them in red, no biggie, but I don't hate the look of this contrast either.

 

Looks awesome!, working on a similar project myself.

 

Looks really good with the added red panels.

 

Wow - looks great!

Love the 'eject' button!

 

Funny story.
I took the car to a detail shop a couple of months ago and the guy was like" what does the Eject button do?"
I told him that it was a gag joke so he was still questioning what it was exactly for.
I don't think he got the idea. I left him wondering.

 

 

FWIW, I looked at the 2014 C7 brochure and it shows those pieces as black, but that may have changed after the car went into production. I did a similar upgrade to my interior and had my local upholstery shop take the existing pieces and recover what I wanted. If you're interested, here's the video they did on the work I requested.

 

Looks great

 

Just finished mine from fubar dash and jet black to red accents.

 

Did you change your door panels to 3LT red or did and upholstery shop refinish?

I am trying to stay away from buying a completed 3LTs panels because I've seen some bubble just like the dashes.

Mine goes to an upholstery shop on the 18th the have to doors done and complete the look. What I cannot find is the Bose speaker cover on the passenger side in Adrenaline red, at least online.

Leaving it black is not a bad look either, but I would like options.

 

The door panels are OEM from factory and no issues. Also, I installed a 2LT dash (maybe - not sure but price was only 800) and I cannot see much difference. Bottom line is I think the dash will no longer be any issue.

 

Everyone in this thread has done some impressive work upgrading their interiors. Congrats!

I will soon be picking up a new to me 2018 GS 1LT. It has the Adrenaline Red seats and the rest of the interior is black.

I would like to add all of the AR panels featured in the 3LT package. Would like to stay OEM. Does anyone know if a list of part numbers is available anywhere?

Also interested in OEM red seat belts.

Thanks a ton.

 

My thought on the grab bar is to leave it as is, black.

The red grab bar from the passenger side would look ok, because it has other red pieces to flow into. But the red grab bar from the drivers side would look odd because it would be standing alone surrounded by a bunch of black and silver. I believe the red would look out of place from the drivers seat. My opinion of course.

The interior work looks awesome. Well Done!!!

 

The driver door only gets a small strip of red to flow with the batwing. Everything else stays black.
Passenger grab bar stay black. My armrests are already red.
Something like this Internet picture :

 

Sorry for the confusion from my earlier post. My comments were regarding the little grab bar where the dash transitions to the console.
OPs' work here has been very tastefully done. I think it looks awesome.

 

Sorry.
I looked at pictures of the 3LT OEM configurations and the back side trim of the grab bar is red. I ordered and replaced that.
The grab bar itself is black on 3 LTs and not available from GM in red. Changing it to red would be a custom piece. Leaving it black as GM designed it for 3LTs..

 

I've been converting from a jet black to tutone red/black as an off season project while waiting for Spring weather here in Ohio.
Through the "Parts Wanted & For Sale" forum here I found someone local selling their Adrenaline Red seat skins so I picked those up and taught myself how to install them (really not that hard). I also found the console cover/arm rest and driver side trim used for sale, so I grabbed those. Here is how that came out:



I thought I would be happy and didn't want to all the way down the rabbit hole on this, but I posted a "Want to Buy" add for red interior trim parts just to test the water, and I ended up buying the batwing, passenger side dash pad, and red door components that were salvaged from 2LT or 3LT door panels. These included arm rests and driver side accent trim, but no passenger side trim. I decided to try SEM vinyl dye/paint to convert the one 3LT door piece I didn't have, and it came our great.



GM did not sell Adrenaline Red arm rests or door trim panel components, as I stated, I got the arm rests used salvaged off 2LT or 3LT door panels. Removing and replacing arm rests on the door panels is not your typical do it yourself mod/upgrade. You have to learn how to separate and create new plastic welds:


My craftsmanship on the welds was not pretty but everything is firm and tight. here is how the panels look now:




I am working now on replacing the original speakers with Infinity Reference Series speakers as was featured in this thread.
I need a couple weeks still to get the passenger side dash pad replaced, it is supposed to be a tough job. The batwing and grab handle trim are easy, I'll do those last.
Also, I have a spare steering wheel with red stitching, I should probably swap that out and use a sharpie marker on the shifter boot stitching.

 

There was a 1LT option for Adrenaline Red seat upholstery alone, but anything above and beyond that is 2LT or 3LT territory.

For example moving up to a red console lid and drivers side “spear” trim piece would only be available from the factory on a 2LT, and the passenger side dash pad in Adrenaline Red (+ other trim) would be indicative of a 3LT.

 

Thank you, that's what I figured. I want to try and get the panels to match the 3LT spec. Will have to research part #s and see what can be ordered.

 

That looks like a fun project for the winter. It turned out great!
The pad is a project in itself.
