I have bought from them on several occasions. So far I have been pleased with what I got. They have a nice catalog that is very comprehensive.

I know I received a nice new catalog from them just yesterday :jester

Seriously, the only thing I have ordered from them was a very nice polo style shirt. I gave them the year of my Corvette, exterior color, and interior color and now I have a very nice white polo shirt with an embroidered Corvette on it that looks just like mine. They did a great job with it.

I think that they are one of the more overpriced places to get things. Although you get what you pay for and thier stuff is top notch as far as I've seen.

I have just bought my first vette and have needed to order several things from magazines. Corvette America is a good source for parts. In my haste to get going on this project, I have ordered a few wrong things and it was no problem returning for a full refund.

The Corvette dealership that I work for buys most of their parts from them. We do a lot of interior restorations and use Corvette America products. I have found there order fill is 99%. The only items that sometimes aren't in stock are seat covers and they make them in their factory and ship in a couple of days.

Bill Snook is our sales rep and is great to deal with. If we order before 1:00pm we get it UPS the next day.

I bought several items from them. I got their upper dash pad and found it to fit better than the original and the color match was perfect. Impressed me!

I ordered a Chrome AC Compressor from them. It took awhile to get it. I became convinced they don't send the compressor out for chroming until they get an order. Took about six weeks all together. :rolleyes:

If you are a member of NCOA (National Corvette Owners Association) you can get a 15% discount on most items. They are one of the major producers of interior parts and the price with the discount is very competitive. On
other items their prices seem a bit higher than other suppliers.

Have ordered from them a number of times and always got quick deliveries.

Yes. Most of the other vendors buy them from CA and re-sell. They are overpriced but do have excelent murchandise. Doc Rebuild is my vendor of choice. They have all the major items, and carry TONS of little stuff (hardware, brackets, etc) the others won't even bother with.

I bought:

Door panels deluxe complete - Fit was excellent

Center padded console (where cig lighter and a/c controls are) - Did not fit in the front, had to cut to fit where the center gauge cluster sits on top and had to relocated the bracket mounts.

Pillar trim (both sides) - I have had two sets of these, and returned them both. They would not fit tight against the frame. The VIN tag opening was not the correct size and it covered the bottom and top 1/4 of the tag id (only the center 1/2 was visible). I gave up trying to get some other brand. I don't think anyone other that Corvette America makes them. All the catalog places sell CA. This is the last item I need for my interior and have been looking at swap meets, etc for over 2 years. The old originals were completely trashed and torn, not repairable.
