Folks here seem to have better luck with forum vendors. Yes, I realize you were probably asking for a vendor's name. Just trying to help the forum vendors who help support the forum.

Default DS Vettes

You can buy DS Vettes stuff through Top Flight Reproductions, who is a forum vendor. Not sure if DS Vettes is. Peter at TFR is great to work with.

Here's my first vette mod and I love it. Its a bad picture, but the product is awesome.

I met the DSVettes man himself at Carlisle - Gerardo.

Very nice & helpful. Quality is awesome. I bought some goodies to adorn my cabin - C6 cabin that is.

Here's another vote for DS Vettes. Gerardo is one of the most highly respected vendors on this forum and for good reasons. His products are of outstanding quality, everything he sells is custom-crafted to order, and his level of service is top of the heap. DSV is not inexpensive but let's face it - top quality always costs a little more. These have been posted a number of times before but in case you didn't see, here are a few pics of my 2005 coupe's DS Vettes interior mods:

I have what I call the DS Vettes "Console Five-Pack": console lid, shift ****, shift boot, parking brake handle and parking brake boot. Makes the red interior REALLY red . . . .

I love DS Vettes and Carvaggio. Saw both at Carlisle and drooled for hours. Both do amazing work and craftsmanship. Carvaggio is out of Canada so i don't know how much more shipping and all would be, but both are gorgeous quality.
