No, I've ordered enough from Caravaggio. This will be my one and only.

Thanks! The red pinstripping is still there, just not visible from this angle.




After I got off the radio today, I took cleaner pictures....

Those look awesome! I love red seat belts. Or any colored seat belt for that matter. Nice choice!

Looks absolutely awesome, Steven.
Tuck the rubber at the base of the door side of the passenger seat belt back in...they probably didn't notice but it'll cut the rubber over time, it looks like.

^^^ Thanks Jeremy! And I appreciate you catching that on the passenger seat. Great minds think alike-I actually saw that and did it yesterday.

Looking good, any reason you didn't put harnesses in instead? Do they make a harness bar for this car yet?

I'm surprised the dealer would install aftermarket seatbelts. Seems like a liability, no?

Looks good, regardless!

Guys, a lot of the CorvetteForum people get a $2.49 clothing marker and re-color their stitching! That's definitely something I'm considering.

I'm not sure if they do or not. I've still got to get my wife to ride in this car, so a 5-point is probably out of the question. She's not a car person.

People do that to such an expensive car?

Most C7 owners who want to change color of the stitching have used that. It's a less expensive alternative than having the seats completely restitched.

I've heard of using a fabric marker to change the color of the stitching. All the times I've seen it it comes out looking pretty nice.

Did a professional photo shoot with a buddy of mine. This is a pre-production shot for your viewing enjoyment.
