Dyed Stitching

I did it on my Challenger and then on my 2020 C8. I will never do it again.
As Sparro said it becomes a never ending job. They both faded within a year and needed to be redone several times. Its a lot of work!
I finally bought a 2023 with the factory Red stitching.

Which has got to be a money grab. What's it take to change a roll of thread colour in the stitching machine.... nada!
To tell you the truth, I enjoyed doing it and it only took me about 6 hours total in 2 days. If it needs to be refreshed I can do that too. 
I wanted a new Challenger or Cuda so bad back in 72 but $3200.00 was out of reach for a 17 year old kid. Settled for a used 340 Duster which I loved as well.
JMO .... But back in '20 and '21 when I was on the list for the Vette .... there were not alot of real life examples to look at ... On sold orders that came in , my dealer would not let customers close to the cars ... let alone open them and allow you to check out the interior
GM's website does a terrible job as to showing you the real effect of the " white " stitching ( I think its actually a very light gray ) ... you'd think by looking at this pic here the stitching was black or non exsitant
And wouldnt that super light stitching darken ... especially the seats, over time .... maybe .... maybe not
You wouldn't have a say in dying your stitching ... especially if your eating Cheetos and watching .... well you know ... while driving
Again JMO ... but I think it came out great ... and if it needs a touch up here and there ... who cares .... I'v never met a Vette owner that isnt always messin with his car one way or another

I thought about doing it myself when I saw Cam's. But then I realized how long and tedious the job is and decided that I'm lazy, and don't want to change now...
It's grey stitching because your interior is sky cool grey. If you had ordered a red interior you would have got red stitching.
I only have the pictures of the interior from my build and price but the stitching matches the natural colour interior.JMO ....
