I don't see how you can put "ripped off by forum vendors" and Vette Essentials in the same sentence, personally. Ken King is one of the most customer service oriented vendors serving the Corvette community out there. There are SOME vendors that start out as CF Supporting Vendors that have ripped off the members.

The bottom line is we all have the freedom of choice about with whom we spend our money. If you don't want to buy VE - don't. If you don't want to buy from a forum supporting vendor - don't. But don't bad mouth the dedicated vendors that make this forum possible by their contributions, and I'm not talking only about the money they pay for the privilege to call themselves "Supporting Vendor". I'm talking about the time that they spend giving their opinions and expertise for free, the promotional gifts they cheerfully give every year around Christmas, their contributions to the CF favorite charity - St. Judes, just to name a few.

George's interior looks very nice as will Eddie's. If they're happy with the outcome - then so am I. I'm happy with the outcome of my interior and I feel that the money I spent on it as well as other things that I have purchased from Supporting Vendors was well spent. I don't want to be made to feel that I was stupid by allowing myself to get ripped off.

I feel better, now. Thanks!

I suggest yuo go back and read the post again.. Are you familiar with "Paragraphs?" 1st paragraph discusses the ability to speak up. Then the 2nd paragraph starts with, "Now,........"

I dont feel the need to repeat myself...
Quick question: Have you ever been burned for OVER $10,000.00 worth of product???? I have.. Nough Said.
I dont want to start a pi$$ing match and get away from the original posters thread. So I'm gonna drop it here.
If you wanna say something to me, take it to PM..
