Vette Essentials
Just wanted to thank Vette Essentials for such a great product. 
I just got in the shifter boot and e-brake boot in carbon fiber leather and it looks amazing. Cant wait to get them installed. I also liked the fact that they didnt charge me until they shipped my items. 
Will post more pictures when I get them installed.

VE's products are best in class without a doubt! But even more important is they really understand their customers and understand what it means to take good care of them. There are a lot of CF vendors that could learn a thing or two about customer service from Matt and Sandy.

I have been talking with Matt at VE a few times a week now. He has been sick with the flu, but my new seats covers are done waiting to come back to me. Everytime I call, we chat for 1/2 or so. He is great. I am very fortunate bacause, he is driving in to Ohio from Michigan to deliver my seats to me. How cool is that. I am going to get a picture taken with him. They are a great loyal company to us Vette owners. Picture will be posted here of couse.

You posted that pic about a year or so ago in a thread and had to have those boots. I emailed Matt at VE when I found out that thats where you got it and they were out of carbon leather but he said he was looking for more and its taken him about a year I guess to get more in.

I know it was a long wait because I got the last of Kens' original carbon leather. Matt was very adament about his search for a Quality carbon product. That's part of the beauty of the VE mindset...Long as you're doing it we may as well go top shelf and be pleased. Once you do the install you'll say "wow" to yourself every time you get in your car
