Seems very close to VE Shift Boot and **** package, and same cost.
Interesting. They even mention the leather accessories as being by Vette Essentials.

The website is down, the phone is disconnected, and the email address isn't being accessed anymore. The machines and materials are sold and gone.
Sandy enjoyed dealing with the customers (I definitely couldn't do it) but the C5 and C6 are getting long in the tooth and orders dropped off. She can't sew C7 and later covers because the side airbag seams are extremely critical and must be sewn on certified machines for legal reasons.
The perimeter stripe was her original design. When you see it used anywhere else, remember that Sandy came up with it, not the other way around.
This is my first and last post, and as I don't know anything about Vette enthusiasts, please post this info on any other websites where people may be wondering what happened to Vette Essentials. Thank you for your interest and past business. It was a good run.
That is very disappointing to hear. I too was a bit frustrated that I could not access the site as I was hoping to do more business with Sandy. I am sure it was a difficult decision for her to make and I would like to thank her for the amazing seats she made for me. They are kickass and one of a kind....a masterpiece! Best wishes and many MANY thanks!
