Do you have a more upscale looking interior?

Those interiors are nice, I really dig em. I've searched hard for info on how to DIY, I've even got some experience sewing from when I was a teen in high school.
You could use flocking to get the suede look in a lot of areas, some of it can only be done with stitching though I would imagine.
I've gleaned a lot of info from the fiberglassforums.com and then searching on my own. This thread gives a rough idea of what possible with a minimum amount of work. http://www.fiberglassforums.com/show...0707#post40707

For what it's worth, I'm sure if you have the money, Callaway could come up with a C16-ish interior for your Camaro. It won't come cheap though, there are a lot of man hours in Callaway's interiors and the quality is amazing.

How do I know? (I know you're asking this right now)
Because guess who this is sitting in a C12!

If you're talking about the color of the interior in the Callaway C12 above, you'd be right, and I agree, but if you just mean in general, I have to disagree. I've sat in a lot of Lamborghinis and other expensive cars, and the interiors all have a lot of detail in them.

Here's some good inspiration here, this is an '07 Gallardo:




and here's a '67 Lamborghini Miura, I love the stitching

you know, I love these interiors, but every time I see them I realize that I would stain them with grease and that it would be a waste of money.

I've never heard anything good about natural suede. It stains like crazy. I'm not sure what suede flock is though.

Definitely go with Alcantara or some other similar synthetic suede that you can actually get wet and clean.

Corvette interiors are definitely more upscale.

Why not just get yourself one?

Yeah, find out, and let us know. It'd be a nice upgrade.
