Default Looking for someone to do custom interior

I love the look of the mod red interiors on certain C5s and Z06s and would like to have it done to my '99 coupe. Anyone know where I could get this done or who would even do it? The one problem is my car is mag red and I want a mag red interior but have only seen torch red as an option. Any ideas guys? Thanks.

Vette Essentials lists Mag Red as one of the colors that they can do their interior products....

Scroll down to the bottom of the attached page for the list of colors.

I'm saving my $$$ for a complete package - I hope in the spring. The quality is unsurpassed! And, the folks at VE (Ken & Sandy King) are the best!

Give Ken King at Vette Essentials a call. He is the man for interior work and can probably do yours in a mag red color.

Ok 2nd question then, anyone know a good shop in Houston to do the work? Corvettes of Houston maybe? I figure MTI is for performance parts only, I don't know about a custom interior such as this. Any suggestions?

I have a Mag Red Vert and if you look on the COH website in the customer car photos you'll see the Mag Red & Black interior that I had made.Jerry

Had one made at Vette Essentials and I am thrilled with the work. If you want garbage I have seen it forsale by the warehouse vendors, even saw it on a Forum members car. If you want quality and one of a kind Ken King is the only place to be.
