If not Ecklers, Who Else?

Gang,

Just had trouble with an $1100.00 order from Ecklers.
Won't slam them, or go into the details, but I would rather not use them to help restore my '80 at this point. Is there anybody else with a comparable selection of replacement parts for our cars?
I need to restore the interior, for starters. I also need some other stuff. (emblems, lower front spoiler pieces, etc.)

Thanks as always in advance

HEY KEV THERE IS CORVETTE CENTERAL AND ALSO RIKS WHO DEAL ONLY 68 TO 82 PARTS I HAVE USED THEM BOTH AND HAVE BEEN SAFITIFED. THEY ARE BOTH ON THE INTERNET.

Kevin,

I also use Zip Corvettes for a lot of my purchases. So far nothing bad has happened, knock on wood!!

Don't forget about a couple of the site's advertisers - Bair's and Corvette America. I understand as members of C3VR we get a discount on our purchases when you phone in an order.

I've used Zip, Corvette Central, and Mid America Design in the past and haven't had any trouble with any of them or the things I've purchased.

Kevin,
I don't care for Ecklers myself. They are a little pricey for me. Mid America and Corvette Central have been good to me so far. I just got my last interior piece I needed yesterday from Ebay (Leather/Vinyl) OEM seat covers $270. They actually came from Corvette America. As a matter of fact..my new door panels $375, new carpet set (complete) $215, new e-brake cover $22, new armrest (1) $40. were all purchased off of ebay. I scored a new OEM front crossed flags emblem for my '81 for $40. They don't repro the '81 front flag emblem. Very hard to find. So if you have time, shop on ebay. There are some good things to bid on and maybe save some cash.
Good Luck! Sarge
