Default C5 with luxury interior upgrade

my interior sucks, I tried searching the forum for anything similar but had no luck i have a 2000 coupe and have a guy who will reupholster my whole car to factory correct conditions with the materials i supply, i wanted to use Connolly leather for the seats and woven wool carpet, and a really cool dash kit for the rest any ideas on what i could do?

It is hard to beat Vette Essentials or Caravaggio. If you are wanting just upgraded seats, console, armrests, pull-handles, gearshift lever, steering wheel, etc., then check out VE. If you are looking to rework "everything" (dash, pillars, etc.) or looking for a more radical upgrade, check out Caravaggio.

I feel like my interior from VE is pretty "luxurious", but still has the stock "look"...

I have done several pieces of CE for my interior and product is top notch. I would also recommend Double D Mods for leather for your dash, doors, console, etc.

Try DJ Motorsport Accessories at: http://www.shop.djmotorsportaccessories.com

Interiors are all leather. Great products, great service, great prices. They are a forum vendor. Have a set in my '03 Z06, and I know several others that have them in their Vettes. I don't think that you will be disappointed.

Not as one package, but all ordered about the same time from VE. Only down side (other than price, but worth every penny), is it took months for everything to arrive - that is not normal for VE from what I understand.

7 years installed now and driven everyday - still looks like new.

Some of the parts ike the sun visors they did special and I purchased extra leather skins to do some of the parts myself like the Doors, bezels, cup holder, ashtray, etc.

Can't argue with that - "classy" out here is a pickup truck with a diesel engine just to make them a bit more annoying!

Choreo, that is very classy and original, well done!

Mine is a bit more standard and DIY, but I think the combo turned out well.

I had DD Mods upholster my center console in leather along with a double DIN nav/stereo upgrade. A pair of Recaro seats were redone in leather locally as were the door panels, pillars and visors. The quality is a substantial upgrade over stock, and feels like a much newer ride.

The interior in my last two C5s have been redone with VE stuff - top quality leather and great customer service. Here's few pics:

I like the interior design of my car just not the cheap feel of it. I know for vettes the interior is a very weak point and I like to see when it's turned into a strong one. Have any of you installed seat warmers?

All depends how much you want to spend.
