I'll play...

The brake handle, shift **** and center console are Vette Essentials...the seat covers are Wet Okoles...oh yeah, i installed myself...

Let's just say that you get what you pay for. The quality is suberb, and now after three years, it looks like the day it was installed.

As far as the installation itself - the late Ken King (founder of VE) created outstanding step by step instructions....so good that these instructions are used over and over by countless members here. I'm glad I did it myself, I have a sense of pride that I would not have had if I had paid someone do a relatively easy task. The only thing I didn't tackle myself was the steering wheel - I had my local Chevy dealer do it for $90...money well spent!

I have gotten so many compliments on the interior that I have lost count. This upgrade IMO, is one that you will enjoy every single time you drive the car. Unlike wheels that you can't see when driving the car, the smell and feel of the high quality leather can't be beaten. If you are on the fence or think that lower priced interior parts are the same - think again. Nothing short of a Caravaggio interior (which is the same quality leather BTW) compares....but for Caravaggio you'll pay considerably more. Caravaggio offers more custom products, where VE offers simply high quality stock styled interiors.

Finally, in this rambling testimonial - Matt (Ken's son) and Sandy offer superlative customer service. I say go for it!

Vette Essentials is top notch!

Door handles, Armrests, console cover, steering wheel, shift and brake boot are Vette Essentials. Four yrs. old and still perfect






Seats, Visors and Radio Console is Caravaggio. Quality is very similar and is all top-notch.

I'm debating going to all black with just silver sticthing...

VE interiors are top notch, everything is easy to put in...have not done the seats yet so I cannot comment on those as far as installation.

These all look great.* Does anyone have pics of the Vette Essential Carbon/perforated steering wheel leather or their leather sun visors?

Shirl

Thanks for all of the beautiful pics!

Ask and you shall recieve melady!!!!!
Here are, my before and after pics:

Shirl

Nice!
I know this sounds like a small detail... but are the cross flags on the headrest the same size as stock? anyone know? Reason I'm asking is because they "appear" a little smaller (than the stock embroidered flags) in all of the pics I've seen...

I'm not smart enough to figure out how to down load photos but I thought I would still tell you that my interior looks exactly like the photos member " YLWFVR75 " posted earlier and I couldn't be happier with Vette Essentials product.

Here is my VE interior (CF Leather/Black Suede and custom logo)...

Installed the seat covers and new foam (as well as some other pieces shown) myself... probably the best money I have spent on the car so far.

Shirl

OK..... That's SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICK. Absolutely LOVE the suede in the seats!

Choreo

I had VE match the embroidery thread color that is used throughout for the hood liner, rear cargo mat, rear sunshades and rear bumper guard - perfect match...

WOW - beautiful!
Where did you get the stearing wheel emblem? It looks like it fits well.

damilleniumboy

Exactly what I was looking for.

Choreo

CyberdyneGraphics - unfortunately looks like they are out of business? Looks/fits perfect - however, I am looking at recovering the air-bag with CF Leather to match - still contemplating.

Some of the forum vendors may still have some for sale... check here...
