Default Carskins and Chris Gets It Done!

If you guys remember, I ordered a painted radio bezel and door bezels from Chris at Carskins. My order was one day prior to the previous "Carskins Thread" developing. Needless to say, I did get nervous. However, Chris came through with "flying colors" and about a week or ten days sooner than originally quoted to me. I realize it may be a little loud for some of you guys but it works for me. The quality is great. Here are some before and after pics.

I just realized the color looks aff in the picture but it is actually perfect color match to the anniversary red exterior. You can see the color on the lower door jamb in one pic.

I forgot to send the picture of the door bezel but I think everyone has seen those before. They are also a perfect anniversary red match.

My wife talked me into putting the Earnhardt **** back on. She said the Hurst **** was too much with all the other colors. I don't know, she is usually right...unfortunately! What do you guys think?

By the way, I sincerely appreciate the positive feedback on the bezel. Sometimes you make a decision to do something that cost big bucks not knowing exactly what it will look like in the end. Thanks, much appreciated! Here's the pic with the Earnhardt **** and a couple of the door bezel.

Yes, here are a few pics showing the seats and embroidery. They were installed July '04. They have been in the car almost 5 years and still look new. Greatest investment I ever made in the vette.

Looks great OJ. Can't wait to se it in person at a meeting.

I would go with the hurst **** before I did the Earnhardt one. Nothing against Earnhardt , I just think the hurst **** has that classic look. To me that is

W3ayne, that looks really sharp!!! I think that is the one the sharpest painted bezels we have done.

Thanks again,
Chris
