Well I like 91-93 dash and interior in both colors! The 94 up dash lost most the details and looks cheaper. just my opinion....

Guys.. Focus on the colors only..

Not the dash design or seats..

just the grey vs black trim and white vs yellow lettering ONLY

;)

What if you had a 92-93 black trim with white lettering?

How about "None of the Above"


They all look they escaped from a Vega.


While I like the car immensely, some of the design choices are not befitting the "King of the Hill".
Some of the designers should visit the pit of misery.


Take a look at C-6 and C-7 dashes and you will see some REAL improvement. I understand technology certainly advanced since 90-95, but even back then other cars had quite good designs that were easily seen day or night, and still looked aesthetically pleasing.


However, I didn't buy the car for the interior design and finish.

Marty I agree, the interior sucks.. poor fit and finish, should never have made it into the corvette..

But alas, we have to deal with it. I am trying to decide is I want to change it up and do all black with white, my son says stick with the yellow lettering. I have a chance to get most the pieces for a conversion for a reasonable cost, debating if I should snag them or not

White letters look far less "garish" than the yellow.
Yellow clashes with everything except yellow or black.
Go for it!

That's why I like Yellow lettering best on black or grey

Absolutely, Marty!!! Took the words right outta my mouth!!

AND the worst (even embarrassing!?) is the stuttering sweep of the cove. Indescribably...awful. (As you said, look at the C7's cove to see how it should have looked!)

My preference always been black w/ white lettering.
It turns out 94-96 corvettes weren't the only cars with black dulso (rubbery) finish. Ferraries of similar time frame used the same. Evidently a few Ferrari owners ordered a brand new interior parts (at Ferrari price) only to find new parts with dulso finish half melt and sticking to fingers.

I prefer the yellow lettering......I'm sure the white is easier to see in the day-time, but at night I love the glow of that Amber color of my 91.

I was able to get the Z out this weekend and paid close attention to the readability of my 90's gray with yellow lettering. I, personally, like it.

Hi all, bit un-related to the topic. How does the 94 + dash compare to the early years in terms of quality? Does it actually feel cheaper? I have only seen my 1990 here in Australia. I would have thought the 94 + would have made improvements with joins and be nicer finish. Anyway keen to see everyones thoughts.

I think the 94-96 style lends itself to be easier to 'upgrade'. meaning I think covering the 94-96 dash in leather or nicer material would be less complicated to do vs the 90-93

I have been modding radio and console bezels since I use the 94 driver side console side, I feel that fit and finish is better, but retained the 'wall' of the passenger side.

I had wanted to get a 94 dash and create glove box were the pass air bag is for my 90 (started with my 89)

So the black with white lettering might happen some day. I am 3 pieces short of a full conversion set

still thinking about it..
