Not quite the Ferrari interior you're looking for but here's a link to a leather kit we sell: http://store.specializedstainless.co...-+%2702+Camaro

If you want upgraded interior parts, take Callaway as inspiration since the parts are more likely to fit in your car than Ferrari parts. These are pictures of the interiors of the C16 Corvettes.

The Callaway interior costs $24,300 with the seats alone costing $6,940.
Before someone starts flaming, that's a lot of money, but you have to remember, the Callaway products are every bit as good (or better) than those used by Lamborghini, Ferrari, Bentley, Rolls Royce, etc. These aren't cars meant for you and me, and there isn't much "Corvette" left in the car. They're meant for the rich, and compared to their competition (Ferrari, etc.), aren't overly expensive.
Every single bit of the interior is covered in German leather (Alcantara for the fuzzy parts) that is dyed to match your specifications. The quality is amazing. Although I've never seen a C16, I've sat in a C12, and even though its interior package wasn't AS expensive, it was still the highest quality leather interior I've ever seen or felt. Every stitch was perfect.
That said... With the proper knowledge/experience, I'm sure someone here could come up with a more cost effective way of redoing their Camaro as such. By using vinyl or naughahide (spelling?) you'd save THOUSANDS of dollars in materal costs alone, when compared to leather.
And, for what it's worth, here's a picture of the C12's interior up close. I didn't inspect the way it was attached very thoroughly, but I believe the leather was wrapped with a very slight amount of tension with a REALLY thorough coverage of glue holding it to the pieces. It was absolutely perfect and was very soft. Click the pic for a larger pic, and then click the magnifying glass to see it in its high res glory.

i got to say toofazt i like they way you do things. If i didn't like doin stuff myself and making everything truly original i would defenetly throw some business your way. Your car looks super clean. By the way do those ecm covers offer any heat protection? cause my ecm crapped out on me and i am thinkin heat may have been a factor.

step one for a camaro interior IMO would be to put firebird door panels and dash. the camaro ones look like 3rd gen door panels. the firebird ones seem a bit newer with the round vents and moulded door speakers
