Default Major props for Elite Engineering...

Ordered a stainless coated tunnel plate from the good guys at Elite in January. Recieved an email from them stating that they were in between production runs and that mine would be shipped in a bit over a week. I wasn't in any hurry and the ship date was fine.

My GM Master Card arrived a few days after the email from Elite for January's billing but no charges from Elite. The charge from Elite has appeared on my February statement, the month of SHIPPING my tunnel plate. I've ordered many-an-item on-line and have had to wait for the shipment but have always been billed the date of order.

Good friends, ELITE IS A CLASS OUTFIT!

Not only do they make great, practical products at fair prices but they charge you when the item is shipped.

The tunnel plate was first rate with no problem on install. The temperatures are cooler around the console area and there is an added feeling of rigidity to the body on my 2k1 vert. (Jacking pucks are first rate, too!)

If you haven't bought anything from these people, get on the phone right now and order anything just for the pleasure of seeing things done the right way!

They are first rate. I ordered the jacking pucks and had them in less than one week. Their quality is the best.

Jeff's the best. Bought my Window Valet from him during the recent GP and he was super fast to reply and to ship.

Same here, I just installed my Window Valet 5 minutes ago. Very cool option.

Hi Bill,

Thanks for your comments. I was a little concerned when I first started reading your message. I guess I'm always looking for the wolf at the door. Anyway, it has always been our policy to charge a credit card the day the order ships, not before. I just don’t think it would be fair to charge for something we haven’t shipped.

Thanks again,

Jeff

I ordered mine a couple of days ago ... Talked to Jeff who sounds like a stand up guy ... He even sent me my tracking number and updates ... I should have it Friday!

Jeff ... you're gonna spoil us bro. We'll expect this treatment from all vendors! Can you imagine that? Good customer relations still do exist.

Thanks Jeff

I ordered the jacking pucks and FedEx promptly lost them in shipping.
Jeff was great to work with and sent another set out right away.
He is a standup guy with good products !! And his prices are where Corvette parts should be........no Corvette tax there.
I will buy from him again.

I too ordered the WV through the GP. He was great to deal with, received the product promptly, and am now quite happy with the mod.

Great Vendor, and will definitely do business with Elite Engineering again.

Thanks again, Jeff.
