One of the best. Not cheap, but their work is first class.

I have been waiting for some pics to surface, looks really great and hard to capture in a pic, can't wait to see it in person . It's another one of a kind that will turn heads

Hmmm, name seems to ring a bell.

c5 interior, version 1:



c5 interior, version 2:



c6 interior, just getting started...........



Of course, I'm hardly objective. Worse yet, I've gotten to know Ken and Sandy personally, so don't trust me! Instead, I did a search in the C5 general section, including the archives, on Vette Essentials. You'll find tons of hits, and with respect to the quality of their leather goods and services, I bet you'll only find positive posts.

Here's some samples:

StuzVette and Vette Essentials -- link

Vette Essentials -- link

Thank You Ken from Vette Essentials! -- link

Redline Goods or Vette Essentials? -- link

Vette Essentials -- link

Pics of Vette Essentials install last weekend -- link

A Ken King Vette Essentials story.......... -- link

Vette Essentials...Luv that stuff!!! -- link

Ken King at Vette Essentials the Best -- link

Vette Essentials - Customer Service -- link

Thanks Sandy and Ken, Vette Essentials -- link

Yes. Ken is a very bad man. You order something like a shift boot and before you know it you're ordering all sorts of expensive leather stuff. Get ready to be poor. Luckily he doesn't have much available yet for a C6.

Only kidding. Ken's work is awesome. He even did my C5 sun visors, which improved the car immensely. Highly recommended.

Heck yeah. Not only is his work "world class", but Ken King (the owner) is one of the finest people you will ever meet in your life. I've got several friends who have done business with him, and I have been to his shop and talked with him at length. Doesn't get any better!

I know this may sound like a silly request, but does anyone know of someone that can put ventilation fans in the stock corvette seats?

I find that cruising for more than 30 minutes gets the back side of my legs and back a little more moist than I care for.

I hate to say it, but that is atrocious.
