Default Vette Candy ?

Anyone know if Vette Candy (DS Vettes) is up and running. They are in Brownsville Texas and probably got hit hard by the storms. Tried calling but no answer. Need a "D" leather steering wheel..

Sergio did a two tone, padded leather console lid for me a couple months ago. It came out nice, very happy with it.

His customer service was great, he responded to my phone calls and emails on the same day.
