Default down south vettes

They are back and better than ever! i had them make a cover for my center counsel. it is leather and two tone--cream and lemans blue. they did magnificant work. even the stiching matches--blue for the blue leather and cream for the cream section. they put thick padding under the leather so my arm is now comfortable on long trips. the OE cover was hard as a rock.

anyone thinking of having some custom interior work done is missing the boat if you do not have company do your parts for you.

bravo down south vettes!!!

You can't beat Gerardo's work (DSV). The padded console (armrest) makes a HUGE difference!!





As you can see, the color match is perfect too.

Wow...that looks great. Do you just take the part off and send it to them?

If you dont mind me asking...what does a mod like that cost?

They have a core exchange program, so you pay for the work + a core deposit, and then you can send your piece back for a refund. I think you can send your item in first also, and not have to pay the core deposit - if you don't need the original for a while. Center consoles run around $220. (Can you tell I've been on their site, planning out my mods today? ).

Anybody who hasn't changed out that rock hard POS console cover that comes stock is missing one of the easiest and most rewarding mods you can make. I can't believe, well I guess I can, that GM hasn't fixed this from the factory. If you don't have one of these, order one today! You and your elbow will appreciate it more than you know.
