I bought the cheap kit from MAN.
Recommend you go with the expensive kit.

Do not buy the cheap kit from corvettecentral. Mine melted to my windows in the Texas heat and had to be replaced again the next summer.

I had the same problem with the A pillar weather stripping that I bought from Corvette Central. They replaced it, at no cost, with one that was of different material and I have not had a problem with it. The rest of the set was fine.

I bought my kit off eBay from somebody called "smart corvette" I think. $350 plus shipping and it hasn't failed me yet... but be ready to slam your doors a bit harder than usual for a while since they aren't "exact" fit so it'll take some time to mold prefectly. I thought about buying individually but the cost went over a complete kit easily.
