Default Vette Essentials......the only way.

Took a drive to Rochester Hills, Michigan, the other day and got the last few pieces to finish off the interior from Vette Essentials. Not only is the leather and workmanship second to none, but dealing with Matt and Sandy is a pleasure.

Matt has definitely taken a page out of Ken's customer relations book and he is definitely carrying on with the Vette Essentials traditions of quality, mixed with making you feel like you are the most important customer they have. They really go out of their way to make sure you are totally satisified with everything.

If you are looking to improve your interior, look no further than V.E., you'll definitely be getting the best for your baby. Hey Matt, see ya at Carlisle.

The cup holders are not for drinks, but to hold pencils he will be selling to help pay for the new mods!

Looking good Mark!
