I've been very pleased with Dino's Corvette Salvage http://www.corvettesalvage.com/ They're large, the service is great, prices are very fair (in my experience), they specialize in C4 and C5 used parts. Good luck!

I've bought several items from..... Vette 2 Vette Corvette Salvage 1-815-673-6200, I believe they're listed on the forum here. T.J. is very nice to deal with, and reasonable prices too. Mention you're on the forum, and I sent you.

Vette2Vette is an excellent and very personable yard to deal with. Usually if they don't have something you're looking for they'll keep and eye out and point you in the right direction.
I wouldn't ever deal with Dino's ever again. I got a wiring harness from them that they assured me was in great shape. They charged me 350 or 400 for it, compared to 250 for the same harness from American Camaro and Firebird(they deal vette stuff now too) and parts of the wiring looked like a rat had chewed through it. All of the connectors were so corroded I don't see how a connection could be made. They offered to try to match the harness up with another and send it out, but I just got my money back instead.
American Camaro and Firebird were excellent to deal with too.

That's true, I'll give them that. They tried to make it right, but the fact that they didn't mark the harnesses made me nervous I'd be sent the wrong one. The harness was year specific and there were 4 diff harness versions in '88 depending on the tranny and a/c options. If you've ever seen one of these harnesses, I can't see how anyone'd be able to tell a difference.

For all you northerners in the snow country of Michigan...try Michigan Recyclers in Riga, Michigan. Had great experiences with them when I lived there 2 years ago. Corvette only yard. Down by Monroe County.
