They do very nice work, (I did in Jan. 2004 so you'd better comfirm current pricing) ..........you order...... they send, then you return yours, so really no "down time" ......except for the day you install them, glad I could assist you, good luck

Right, when I did it, they first send the new ones, then you can return yours (the cores) back in the same box with your ck. , again they do a nice job, I think you'll like them, they are a real "bling bling", the owner is a real good Corvette guy.
