Default Custom Interior Build Black/Seude/Carbon

Hey guys, Well i finnaly got the car mechanically sound again Ive gotten the interior out and gone to work. The seats are off getting reupholstered. Im now in the process of ordering the last few pieces I need. The basic theme im going for is black leather with grey suede inserts and carbon fiber trim, all the stiching is blue. Ill also be updating the stereo from the kenwood ddx512 to a newer Pioneer unit with bluetooth enable. Also looking at the Edge Performance multigauges to sink into the console. Another project is I have a 2007 Corvette wheel which is currently off getting suede wrapped. (still looking for a g5/g6 steering wheel emblem if anyone has a spare one laying around) Just picked up the first round of trim pieces from the Hydrodipper last night. 6Le, you may recognize some of these.




Let me know what you guys think so far and id love any imput or suggestions.

Also can anyone point me in a good direction to order black carpet and a black rear divider board (if they make one)?

the steering wheel swap can be done. Ive seen it done a couple of times. I believe you have to modify the column slightly but i know it can be done

Your taste is impeccible...great colors and understatement on the performance side (vs "bling").

Would you provide a link/info on your Hydrodipper? I've been looking for that carbon effect and your's is perfect!

If you are still looking for carpet, let me know...have a reference for very good quality and upgraded OEM and beyond...

Thanks
