Owner's Manual Leather Pocket

I'm seeing that someone from GM Customer Care is posting off and on and wondering if they could influence GM to offer (or make available to us current owners) a nice leather pouch with the "Chevy SS Performance" logo, etc...The dealership I purchased from provided a CHEAP plastic pouch to keep material from moving around the glove box...Thanks!

I agree

I'm torn between a couple of options. I really like the polished smooth grain look of the Holden pouch, but also like the idea of a Chevy leather pouch. I could not find a modern era leather portfolio with a large bowtie on it, but found a pretty cool one with a small bowtie on it... :)

I think the style and roots of the Holden piece put it over the top, especially when purchased from a forum member, but the 'vette cover is pretty cool...



I like the old style as well. I found an '08 Cadillac with no emblem, it was the same as the old vette. I had mocked a example up of one but took the pics off as they looked so bad. I got an '08 Malibu/Impala case, it was/is canvas and i put some fake leather around the border and a inch stripe down the middle with some red stitching. I was looking for a professional to copy my idea and make it better. I had a few ideas, and or also to use the SS logo copied off our seats. With red stitching. Coupe is in Houston and had some handbags made for his wife for Christmas to match her mustang. I am awaiting him to give the name of the person who made them and i am going to see if i can get something custom done and if not i will go with the Holden.

I will attach the pics again for you to see. THESE ARE RUFF!! Be warned lol, they stitching is crooked but hey, i am no seamstress :D

I am hoping the person Coupe gets me can make a more inbetween look. Kinda not so polished and something casual like this. Maybe a fake suede with some backing in it to make it a bit more stiff but not like the Holden. With the SS logo or Like this with the inch stripe to match the seating kinda as you can see i put it on my seat to see how this was going.

IF. I come up with something awesome, i will put it up here and if ppl want one i can see if i can help to arrange getting one. OTHERWISE, i am going with the Holden or just the plain case i found on ebay lol. I do not wanna spend a fortune on something hardly anyone will see. However, it is only money right ? :D

That 'vette portfolio pic is for a 2015 Corvette. It's ten bucks more than the Holden piece, but it comes with the Corvette owners manual and all, might be able to sell the other stuff off for a few bucks anyway...
I like what you're working on, keep us informed as you move forward!

That leather 'wallet' looks great! I made a simple one out of vinyl for my 2016 manual and it now lives in the battery compartment to free up room in the glovebox.

Yea, i noticed ppl want a lot for the vette one as it comes fully loaded. I missed one that was listed one day, it had no logo tho, but the manuals and it sold for like 19.99 about 2 months agoish.

Do you have the vette emblem on the back of your SS? I know someone did and i am too lazy now to go back and look your car up as i am writing lol. The vette one would be nice if that is the route your taking. I have the holden trunk liner, only because it was an exact fit so i got it when i picked up the car. That is the only holden thing i have so far. I kinda wanted to do a Holden badge switch but i am not. Its gonna be a Chebby with the Malibu/Impala looks. :D

Well, if i can get this person that Coupe used to make up a holder for me i will definitely keep you posted. I will just post it up here. If i get something that others like then i will try and get the person to give me a discount for forum members if i can get enuff business for them.

I am NOT the guy that is under the hood and or under the car in anyway shape or form, i am that stock guy and i know NOTHING about working on cars other than how to change the oil and simple things lol. I will admit i am on the ARTSY side of the spectrum of life. I would much rather sit here with materials and or design a manual case and or have someone make up my design than do mods to my car. That is just how the cards fell in my life :D

Thanks for the info, If i see a Vette case cheap i will let you know as well. At least i know i have the Holden to fall back on. I mean a plastic bag? Cannot have that :D

Take care.

Yeah, no 'vette stuff here, I just like the leather case, with a tiny little bowtie in the C7 logo... :)
Gotcha

Could have sworn someone had changed their ss logo to the flags on their car. I may be dreaming lol. Has happened before. I did not think it was you. Well anyway, yes, i love that logo too. I wish it was used more often, then again, i think it is what makes the Vette distinctive. I feel our cars are such a limited run that a nice touch with some kinda i dont know maybe more accessories? Well Really anything, Chevrolet has done nothing to promote our car and or let anyone know of it. To be honest, if it were not for Youtube, and me seeing SaabKyle04 do a review on it last year i would never have known about the car. Lucky US i guess :) I am just happy to own one. Really happy.
