Any idea what it would cost to do the full leather treatment, dash and doors and all?

My compliments on your car's interior. I have the same car (white vert with light oak interior and top). Currently, my seats are out and being recovered with the exact same skins you have. I hope to have it back in the next couple of days. It looks awesome in your car and I can only hope mine turn out the same. I also have the same armrest and I'm looking to put the shift boot and e-brake boot on as well (like yours). What did you use and how to create the piping around the traction control panel? Thanks in advance and again, great looking car you have!

Why don't you give him a call, and get it straight from the horses mouth.
Prices have changed since the red car was done.

Went pretty simple on mine...wouldn't call it 'luxury', but was a nice re-fresh. DIY on the seats is pretty easy, I did all new foam and leather.

not to barge in, but i just got the armrest in this picture, the traction cord comes with the cover when you order it. its a pain in the *** to get right. course im not inclined with stuff like that, im sure other memebers had no issues!

Well you can go to the corvette sites and spend like $30 for the little piece. Or go to the marine sites and get the same thing vinyl piping for like $1 a yard. Your choice

thanks
The diamond pleated console sides are done in leather. I believe you might be able to have them made by Redline Goods.

I mentioned earlier that I've seen that car at Carlisle several years ago. John Caravaggio had a booth, just that once. I drooled over that interior. In person it looks so much better, like lifted out of a Ferrari or Aston-Martin. I asked how much to do the whole thing, back then he quoted me $12,000 and up. I have a coupleof friends who both are two of the top custom upholsterers in the country, they've done Pebble Beach winning cars. I'm afraid to ask them what they would charge, I know it would be even more.

Mine is Silver, so recently dyed the bottom of the doors Silver, but removed the speaker covers to leave them black, like them more that way.

Also did the trim ring around the door handle silver, and the door pull, next doing the bezel around the radio and climate controls the same color.

Will post pics when I reassemble, right now it's curing for a few days in climate controlled basement.

Kinda used this as inspiration.

Not sure I would categorize mine as luxury but I have done some subtle changes. Wrapped Steering wheel,DD radio with custom bezel. Bezel and console painted to match light Oak, C6 shift **** in light oak as well as the boots. Will do the seats at some point but I am happy with it for now.

Is that a small clock at the top of your radio bezel? Looks classy by the way like the luxury cars do!

It is a clock. I haven't seen it done in many vette's. Wanted to do something a little different. Also these old eye's have difficulty seeing the time display on the head unit, so the clock serves it's purpose.

Just put the door back on. May return trim ring around the door handle back to black, other than I absolutely love it. I chose to leave the speaker black, I like it a lot more that way.

Not luxury but seemed to fit in this thread.
