Some F-body owners are cheap. Depends on who is asking. Interest would be based on cost, desire, experiences of other purchasers, and results.
I agree. I will have an interior one day that will rival a Ferrari or Lambo.

I plan to redo my whole interior. It'll be custom, but won't look too drastically different. It will definitely look clean and not cheap.

You can do a lot of wrapping, I have seen posts with a black interior and red stitchings. So you just have to search on here

Caravaggio Corvette does some interesting interiors. Too much tan for my taste, but quality work.

The tan is overwhelming, but the quality workmanship is apparent. I would do ebony with ebony stitching. If it were ebony leather I would love it.

Agreed. The color is hideous and that diamond stitch on the side-console is an idea from a half-assed street rod. A different color would change the whole personality of the car.

Yes I put gto seats in there. Those seats are so comfortable and still supportive. It also made it seem to ride better since the seat absorbed some bumps instead of my spine. The interior wasn't 100% finished because the car got totaled.

Pretty sure they werent going for a street rod look at all and other than the red stitching thats probably the best looking corvette interior ive ever seen.

And im pretty sure they were basing that off something like this- Its an interior of a Pagani Zonda
