I redid my interior this past spring. I got my parts form several sources. Whoever had the best prices: ebay, MidAmerica, CorvetteAmerica, Corvette Central, Ecklers, and others. I think they pretty much all come from the same source. So the best price was usually my dealmaker. I will say that some ship faster than others. Usually MidAmerica shipped the quickest, then some of the ebay guys. But some ebay parts also came by slow boat too.

Everything showed up eventually and as described. No major surprises.

Al Knoch has the best quality seat covers, foam, and carpet as far as I'm concerned.

I agree. They fit properly and look as close to original interiors as you can get.

Got leather seat covers and foam. A little bit of a project to install them, but the fit is xlnt. Contact Wally Knoch--Iron cross in this forum or the c2 forum, and you may get a discount. Otherwise, go for the cheapest price, as they are mostly made by the same company.
