I like Wilcox although I purchased my interior from AL Knoch and got a great deal at the Pamona Swap meet.

I bought a wilcox and the installer said it was one of the nicest kits he had seen, it fit really well, no messing around, actually charged me 110.00 less then his quote because he had no fitting problems.He did the carpet,seat covers,door panels looks great.

add my 2 thumbs to the above!! i just bought an entire interior from wall to wall and ceiling to floor. everything from the firewall out is being replaced on my pace car, even down to the screws. everything that could be bought new i bought from wilcox. after checking around, there was no one close in terms of price, quality and product knowledge. all the parts came from all the major suppliers like corvette america and ecklers anyway, just through wilcox and at great savings over dealing with anyone else. buy it all and they will even discount their already lower prices with a package "deal".

you won't be sorry if you choose to deal with them. their service before, during and after the sale is tremendous! personally i wouldn't buy from anyone else.

I deal mainly with WILLCOX due to their quality (Corvette America parts) and their low cost $$$. Call them, they will work with you and mention that you are a Forum Member!

I've had bad dealings with Wilcox over getting them to check a part ( speedo/tach lens) to make sure it was in better shape than the last two I bought. I ended up getting a tacky email from them and blocked as a buyer on ebay....over a $50 part. This was after being a loyal customer and having spent over $2000 with them prior to this. Not once was I rude to them, never thought they would have a problem with doing a simple request as a concerned customer.....oh well

But I have had great dealings with Al Knoch

My 2 cents....
