Yes, they are.

Why the question - having trouble contacting Ken?

If so, be patient - it can be sometime before he calls back. My suggestion is to keep trying to contact him.

I did my shifter boot cashmier to match my int; I think now it looks better in black-and please don't take this the wrong way but maybe your interior might look better with an all-black steering wheel and shifter boot...just my 2 cents...

I just got him first try!

And, they most certainly are still in biz, as the tooth fairy can't make these nice console covers.............

Thanks Steve.

Yes we are in business and plan to stay in business! I still have a few V mails to get to but I'm fairly up to date on my calls and emails. Did you leave a message?
