Vette Essentials
Just wanted to make a quick post about the great experience I had with Vette Essentials and their padded armrests. Everything went smooth with ordering and shipping. Everyone there was incredibly nice and talked with me for an extended period of time even though my order was relativly small. The shipment arrived as promised, was well packed, and had great directions.
The product was top-notch. I could not ask for anything better. I am definately glad I spent the few extra bucks for this very high quality piece. They look great on the car and added some extra color in my otherwise all black interior. Also, now my elbows do not hurt on long trips. Great job and I will definatly order more products from them in the future
Here is what I ordered in black and gray Arm Rests

I first ran into Ken at Carlisle in August 2004. I planned to buy only a shift ****, but bought both a shift **** and shift boot. By December 2004 I bought the E-brake handle and boot. When he had his Christmas sale in December 2004, I ordered the seats. In May 2005 I got the steering wheel and armrests. I just ordered the console cover last week. I guess I'm addicted to Vette Essentials. Ken and Sandy are a pleasure to deal with.

I bought the same things, only in Blk/Silver. Bought matching door pulls too. Ken is the best.

I just got some custom black leather with red thread armrests to go with my mod red interior the other week. Ken & Sandy are THE BEST!!!
Those armrests are very comfortable--just the right height & amount of padding.

While I only have a few VE pieces you can't go wrong and Ken and Sandy treat you right.
I had a problem with the steering wheel decal not sticking. Ken sent me replacements (3) until I got one to stick, seems they had a problem with the adhesive on the early versions of the decal.

You guys are giving me some great ideas about future purchases. I just got back from a 200+ mile road trip and the new armrests are super comfortable The wife and I are both happy and will be sure to buy from VE again 
Great looking interiors on all the rides of people that have posted
