Default Davies corvette experience?

Anyone with experience with Davies Corvette from Fla? I never dealt with them nor heard of them but the only parts house I can find selling 1980-1982 rocker moldings individually

Bought several NOS items from them. Like them a lot.

'80 is one year only on rocker mouldings. Not sure why. I bought a pair of NOS GM ones recently. They are packaged individually by GM so maybe the "pair only" ones are repro?

The Vette supply houses did not seem to have any moulding replacements for an "80 when I looked. Just the other years.

thank you, I haven't found anywhere else selling them separately but can keep looking, as far as I was aware the 80-82 are the same in dimensions... a bit longer than 79 and earlier, only difference was paint pattern

I purchased some convertible door jamb wedges that fit perfectly, the company seems to ship parts out very quickly.

I have used them for over 15 years...Especially when I lived in Fla...
Great people and service...
And sometimes they have that impossible to find part...

Thanks all, I installed headers and side pipes and had to lightly trim my passenger side, I just want to pick up a replacement to have it. I will order it from these guys.

Davies was the only place I found carried the rubber air dam for my 81.

Looks like an easy decision but I'll add one more, I bought some items for my C-4 which arrived promptly and fit fine. I'd say you'll be fine with them.
