Just did a few parts (Steering Wheel, Shifter Boot & Shifter ****) with Vette Essentials; their quality is A1!!

I dealt with Sandy, great service as well. Here is a pic (iPhone).

Looks very nice! When I need to upgrade interior I will go with Vette Essentials also.

I've had Vette Essentials products in my last two C5s - couldn't be happier with the fit, quality and customer service I got from them. Yes they are expensive, but to me the cost was well worth it. I've never had any issues with their products.

OP - congrats on selecting VE for your interior upgrades - your car looks great.

I agree with Jack. On the expensive side but the best look and quality.

Look great... they are hard to beat. My VE interior still looks like new after 7 years as a DD!

Thanks for all the nice words guys!! I truly love how it came out. In the future when my seats wear out or I pull the trigger, I also plan on doing the seats.

Can't beat VE for quality products, customer service! Sandy is one fine lady to deal with IMO.

Looks great!

I used VE seat foam when I converted my seats from standard to sport. I wanted to use VE covers as well, heard nothing but excellent reviews, but just wasn't in the budget. I went with covers from DJ Motorsport and am quite happy with them.

I will agree though that customer service at VE is far better.

About 2 weeks from the time I ordered them to the time I got them. They also did not charge me until the product shipped. I got them earlier than I was promised Overall my experience was GREAT!!!

VE has been great to deal with. For something as simple as a shifter boot Sandy sent me 1/2 dozen leather samples to make sure I had a match with the Magnetic Red of the car. An awesome vendor for us CF members.
