Default Changes at L.A.P.D.

Hello everyone,

My name is Keith Edelen and I just wanted to introduce myself to the forum, as I am the newest member of the team at the L.A.P.D. I have been a gear head for years and finally have the opportunity and time to do what I enjoy most by joining their great staff.

I will be handling internet sales, customer relations, and a few other things, but I wanted everyone to be on the lookout for some fantastic new products that are being developed here at the shop. Also, check out our new website at www.thelapd.com when you get a chance.

You will see a renewed and sincere effort on our part to earn your business. We will be posting some great specials for this holiday season and look forward to doing continued business with the Corvette community. Please feel free to email me with any comments, questions, or concerns. My email address is keith@thelapd.com. I welcome your feedback and look forward to hearing from you.

Thank you and happy holidays from all of us at the L.A.P.D.

Welcome! I purchased some brake lines from L.A.P.D. a while back for my c6 Zo6 brake conversion. Fast shipping and a great product! Look forward doing business in the future!
