I just did two packages for customers

All the leather is from DSV and the paint work is from me





Not many vendors would dare to show this close of a picture of their work

No one's mentioned Redlinegoods...

http://www.redlinegoods.com/C6shiftboot.shtm

Ordered and received within 2 weeks. Waiting for my spoke covers from Apsis to match my color matched console and speedo bezel, before it install it all. Two tone blue leather and black alcantara. Should look nice when its done.

Ed,
Do you offer a discounted "package" price for all of those items?

I may be interested in 2-tone ebony/titanium leather, with AO painted trim.

Called vette essentials twice, and both times they never sent the sample they said they were going to. Just thought you'd be interested to know. I will try someone else when I get back to this idea I put aside for now.
