Default can someone verify this about vette essentials?

So i asked for a quote for leather seat skins and i got a price of 1600$ on special.

I replied I do not want the full seats i just want the skins. Are these guys that crazy that they think 2 leather skins for seats are worth 1000 each?

Completely over priced for what it is if that is the case.

Opinions are like noses - everyone has one.

I have a Vette Essentials interior and I didn't think it was overpriced. It is a full custom made high quality leather skin that is world's better than OEM, that will match the GM color palette perfectly, the stitching is perfect and the quality shows. I have installed skins for friends that were made by other companies other than Vette Essentials, including MidAmerica, and LeatherSeats.com and I could tell the difference in the quality.

$1600 sounds like a 20% discount to me and thats a good deal.

well 2000 bux for leather for car seats custom or not is way over priced on the material and time to produce.

2000 bux to headers or 2000 bux for car seat leather? Id consider 8-900 but no way in hell id pay 2000 bux for cheap leather lol
