Last week I ordered a C6 headliner from them. Their website was down and it could not process my credit card. I called them and they sent me the headliner and instructed me to send them a check when I received the headliner if I was happy with the product. I loved the headliner and sent them payment today. Great company.

Nice to hear another great report on Down South Vettes. No personal experience with them, but they sure get a lot of positive feedback from customers.

Says a lot about Down South - sent the product without payment first. Try that anywhere else.

I just ordered a console from him today. I spoke with him on the phone very nice guy. You can tell he really cares. He wouldnt take a payment for my order until he was ready to ship it out. Look forward to doing more business with him.

I've purchased an arm rest and a steering wheel from dsv, and both were top-notch. Gerardo is a stand-up guy and didn't charge me a thing until the parts were sent. As mentioned, that's pretty unusual in this business and should be rewarded with our continued patronage.

If everyone did business the way Downsouthvette's does, it would be a much better world. I highly recommend forum members to do business with them. I love my headliner.

I also have to highly recommend Downsouth. I just got a center console top from him. Great product and a great person to deal with.

Default Thank You

Thank you guys for your great comments. We try to do our best in our work. We also try to give the best customer service that is possible. Corvette people are just wonderful people and we all share a great passion for our cars. If anybody of you have suggestions on how we can improve they are greatly appreciated. Every single job that we do is done like if it was for our car. I wish we could have quicker turn around time on our products but since everything is customized and done to customers specifications it takes us time in every single order. The telephone number that we have for the business is my mobile phone because I want to be available as much as possible for any questions. Thanks again for everybodys comments.

I won a shift boot from them and then bought a console cover. Very happy with both and will do business with them again.
