I agree that Al knoch is the only way to go for quality interiors. Many of the vendors buy from Knoch and mark it up.

I thought most interior parts were manufactured by Corvette America and just sold at different prices by different vendors.

Beware.....many of the Vette suppliers sell Al Knoch but you will get a better price from the Vette supplier. I bought mine from Mid America, and the box came drop ship from Al Knoch. The Al Knoch price direct was higher. The suppliers buy volume so they probably get a very good price for feeding the volume to Al Knoch. Shop around.

Thanks guys, I called and ordered a catalog and because I am a auto shop owner I will get dealer pricing, so if you guys want Al Knoch interior parts let me know and I may be able to save you some money.
Thanks Scott
