Going to mod interior been looking around Vette Essentials or WCC West Coast Corvettes .. Both have nice interior skins two tone seats consoles, steering wheel ,shift boot ,brake cover I am looking to do a Lt grey and Black theme .. Wcc is alot cheaper cause they do Standard seats VE only does sport seats so would have to buy foam for sport seats .This mod is driving me insane help

Basically you're comparing apples and oranges... The leather and craftmanship from VE is top notch, they're only competition is Caravaggio in Canada... As for the WCC stuff, it's decent if you want to upgrade the interior with accents, but the leather is not nearly as nice as VE's... Also, you can get an entirely custom package through VE, including different materials (suede, carbon fiber leather, and I've even seen snakes skin seats)... Basically you get what you pay for... And btw, VE will do stardard seat covers, it's all made to order.

I went with VE and couldn't be happier, great customer service and perfect fit... Hope this helps!

I like that. I have a CE Vert as well and was looking for something in our colors.

Did you do the work yourself of have it professionally installed?

If you don't cold you give me a ballpark on the cost?

Thanks

Yup...look under the "whats New" link on their webpage. www.vetteessentials.com

And they will do whatever kind of seat you want, in whatever color/material you want. As well as help you design something that will work well and look right...if your like me and need the help. Give them an email and they will answer your questions. Be alittle patient as they are a two man operation (ok one woman one man), and true custom interior means they spend a lot of time on each order. Well worth it from what i have seen! Ill see first hand when i get mine.

You can't go wrong with a Vette Essentials interior.

You get what you pay for.....




And as was already stated - VE will do standard seats - that's essentially what's in a Z06. Take a look at their web page.
