Parts back from VAE restorations

[orangetwist]

got my dash bezels back from vic today. well, actually they arrived friday but i missed the delivery and had to pick them up from post office and just got to it today.

on to the parts. they look amazing. the pics really do them no justice on how great they actually look....see for yourselves...

before (forgot to take them right before i sent them, so this is all i have)

AFTER:

Like i said, the pictures do them no justice. look great in the pics, but they look SO much better in person. Needless to say i would highly recommend Vic.

Sweet. What'd that set of parts run you?

 

[orangetwist]

it was $275 plus shipping. hes got a price list on his page , ( www.vae-restorations.com ) but doesnt have the small heater and radio bezels listed on it, only the big ones with the wood grain. he only charged 50 a piece for the heater and radio bezels.

That is money well spent - every time you get in your car it's one of the first things you'll see and admire. Looks like he did a nice job.............What was the turn around time?

agreed. and on top of that its the things like that that make a difference when other people look at it too. they really know somebody took their time and made sure everything was done right.

turn around time was about 8 weeks, i believe. i forget exactly when i sent them, but i know it was towards the end of november or begining of december.

Looks awesome you need sunglasses for sure she is soooo shiny!! Definitely worth the $275. Did they re-do your stuff, or do they have their own "stock"??

Calling them today

He uses your stuff. I believe he does it all on the side, which is why he can charge less than most places. Vic did say the woodgrain wouldn't be an exact match, but honestly unless you really know your a bodies you wouldn't notice. People that know probably wouldn't even notice.

I live local and when I dropped my Duster parts off Vic showed me Orangetwist's dash that he was working on...it was very nice. He also was finishing up a Rally dash that looked great.

Vic does do it on the side so the wait time might be longer than some places but the price was right and I was impressed with him and his work.
