Agree 100%. Shopped seats at Carslile. No one's quality was like al's.

Willcox is definitely the way to go.

Corvette America builds all of their advertising and costs into their product. They just built a new facility as well.

It's funny, I bought some dye from Rik's which was $2 cheaper than Corvette America's price and the cans are made by Corvette America......

Is the carpet from Wilcox press molded??

Corvette America makes all of their interior parts except for carpeting. Carpets come from Auto Custom Carpets.

I bought seat foam from Wilcox, it tiurned out to be way to big, came from Corvette America, neither company would take it back or send me the right stuff. I won't buy anything from them again and have worthless seat foam now to throw away.

Wilcox is a Corvette America dealer. One of their largest. Yes buying from them is like buying from Corvette America but most of the times the price is better buying from Wilcox. I purchased my new leather seat covers for my 73' Coupe from them last year. Corvette America leather seat covers arrived at my door. Quality wise the leather replacement seat covers are like the factory originals. I can't tell any difference and the price was right.
