Wow, 3 years for an interior is crazy. Those seats look pretty good, but not $3500 good. I wish you the best, I would not have spent that amount of time waiting, I would be at the door with a truck for my parts.

Wow, terrible....I for one would never send Caravaggio my money, given that experience you've had. Shame on you Caravaggio for this situation (even if REMOTELY TRUE).

I was considering your seats...and yes, I can afford them. Forget it now though.

Carraviggio makes hands down awesome products!

However their customer service is by far the absolute worst I have honestly ever seen!

For anyone wanting custom work down, I would advise you not to send them ANY money until the work is completed, otherwise you may be waiting 3+ years to see your order!

Those are some damn nice looking seats but for that kind of money and such questionable customer support there a tone of other vendors that would do as much or more for half that cost.

gabes customs has done a ton of show cars and upholstery you see on TV

Same here I was intrested in these seats too but seeing how hes out posting and starting other threads but cant even respond to a customer whos been waiting 3 years os ridiculous...some of these venders have been getting away with screwing over the community for the longest and its pretty messed up..they should be banned instead of allowed to pay $50 a month and screw a member over for thousands of dollars.

UPDATE:

Just wanted to clarify to everyone that this project did not involve just seats. This was a custom interior job unlike Johns typical work. I still find the duration I this project completely unacceptable as we had an understanding prior to shipment that this car was suppose to be in SEMA 2011.
Moving on John has emailed myself and a moderator statin that the interior will be done Friday and ready to ship Monday. I've been told this many times over the last 2 years so I'll keep everyone notified if that happens tomorrow.

I thought getting seats done like this would be the icing on the cake of my monster... I always read entire threads and it was like discovering the stench of VD on your supermodel date when she takes off her undewear... turned off now... might get turned on again by this thread some day but all I feel now is the sadness of PMPNSEZ.

Has anyone else had their seats done and sent back in the meantime? Pics?

Hopefully this turns out.
