Default C3 interior parts recommendations, please...

Hey Guys,

My red cloth interior is faded and worn. I want to upgrade it to red leather from Corvette America, which is Made in USA.
I'm also going to replace the interior pieces. Does anyone have any experience with their products?

Thanks!

- Bryan

Many people (including me) have experience with their products since they supply a lot of the other vendors. Often when I order from another company the box will say Corvette America on the side of it. No issues so far.

I've got their seats. They look and feel really good. I ordered mine from Wilcox.
He runs specials all the time here's a link.

I purchased my entire interior from Wilcox. Perfect fit, high quality leather seats and cushion for a very fair price

Two thumbs up for CA interiors sold by Willcox. They run periodic specials, with more savings the more you buy, so try to order everything you need at one time.

Thank you so much for all the replies.

I decided to order the rubber moldings set for the t-tops, doors, etc to install before I do anything to the interior. I've only had the car for a week, and my list of things I want to do keeps growing exponentially.

Yesterday, I pulled a number at the registry of motor vehicles, then left to go to a boneyard to pick up a corvette jack and a 5th aluminum wheel to use as a spare until my donut arrives. I went back to the registry and still had a two hour wait. Rhode Island taxed the car as being worth $11,500, even though it is not worth even close to that amount.

My wife asked me how many car shows I've taken the vette to so far?...3 shows in a 6 day period...haha...but who's counting?!?

By the way...Is it okay to polish the aluminum wheels with Mother's Mag and Aluminum Polish?

You can only polish the wheels with aluminum polish if the factory clear coat has been removed leaving the bare metal
