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....

-=Jeff=- · 03-13-2018

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!)
