I finally pulled the trigger!
Woooo Wooo! 
I placed my order with Ken and Sandy King at Vette Essentials today! I am soooo pumped! I ordered the whole shebang - seats, foam, shifter boot and ****, ebrake handle and boot, door pulls, arm rests, console cover, steering wheel, and those little seat bags/fanny packs! 
I can't wait! Like Ken said - "I don't like waiting for my burgers at the drive-thru!"
But, I gotta be patient (I will be somehow - I promised Ken I wouldn't call him and pester the crap out of him! )
I know the drill......I'll post pics when it's done!

I told Ken that I've put a lot of time into making my car look as good as I can - but with the worn bolsters and the tear in the seat on driver's side......it's kind of like having Shania Twain walking towards you real slow with nothing on but the radio, in kind of a slow, erotic, sort of way (are you getting a mental image, yet?)......
The she gets close, and turns her cheek towards you to plant a light and gentle kiss......AND SHE HAS THIS BIG OLD F'N ANGRY LOOKING ZIT ON HER CHEEK!!!!
It spoils the whole image! See what I mean?

I've wanted this since I bought my car Stock Man, and after waiting about a year and half - I've ordered it!
Sorry if I've repeated myself, guys and gals.....I'm just excited!
