Help, I'm developing a leather fetish!
When will it stop? I already had a custom leather steering wheel, arm rest, parking brake boot and sunvisors from Down South Vettes. But then I got the urge for even more leather. Gerardo was happy to oblige.
Out with the old:
In with the new:
Shift boot...
Trim at top of windshield...
Center console...
This stuff just feels and smells so good...

Me too, you're a little behind I think though.
But, seriously I too love Gerardo's work and I'm getting more. Hopefully soon.

Like any addiction, I don't care. I just tell him to send it, then I figure out how to pay for it later!

Alright, you got me there. But I think I lead in carbon fiber.

No, he doesn't want to do logos without a license from GM (ask Pipedreams about that!). I work at a Mercedes dealership and the guy who does the Benz logos on headrests was able to do it for me. People think it's stitched, but actually adheres to the leather with a special machine he has. Don't ask me how, but I do like how they look.

Thank you. My seats are still stock. But I'm sure at some point leather mod fever will strike again and Gerardo will be doing something custom!

George,
Any decent upholstery shop should be fine.

Gerardo's items are thicker than the cheap vinyl.

When it comes to 'Vette upholstery, Geraldo RULES! I'm anxious to see his wide-body mod.
