I was just checking out their stuff because I plan on doing my entire interior over. Their prices are great, but is the products good or is it just cheap junk??? Anybody know anything about them??? I was thinking about getting what I need with "Corvette Central"

I used Willcox for my interior two years ago. Carpet was from ACC, door panels and seat covers were from Corvette America. No problem, easy to deal with, fast shipping.

They sell Corvette America interior products like most of the other vendors. Ask Corvette Central who supplies the interior products to them so you can make an informed decision. The Last Detail also sells Corvette America products at about the same prices as Wilcox

I've bought from all the catalogs as well as ebay, Willcox is one of the best. Very friendly and trustworthy. Has made only one mistake in all the items I bought, and he immediately sent me the right part and let me keep the wrong part to sell or do with as I please.

I will continue to do business with them.

They are great. They even got me some extra carpet to match the new interior carpet.

This post comes up every month or so. Willcox is outstanding. I don't remember anyone ever having anything bad to say about them. I know I don't. I have purchased over a grand in products from them over the years....would have been 15% more if bought elsewhere. Great service and same products as others.

Ordered door panels form them just before christmas.. should be here this week.. I'll let you know...so far they have responded quickly to all my questions via e-mail and even shipped to my unverified address even though their auctions on e-bay specifically state that they wont.

So far so good

I did my entire interior with them,(just finished) all the boxes showed up with Corvette America on them. Quality was great, and its the same stuff as most everyone sells. Corvette America makes the majority of vette parts for everyone. Wilcox’s web site prices are not up to date but if you send them a list they will package a complete price.

Their are a few like Al Knoch that produce some items own their own I think he makes carpet and have heard Al's quality and Rep is also good. I also deal with The last Detail (great service also)even they admit Willcox is their biggest competitor.

Good luck

OK I'm confused?? Are these good reviews for "Wilson" or for

"I was thinking about getting what I need with "Corvette Central"

or for Corvette Central in Ontario, Kanada?

I have bought all my parts from Willcox with no complaints.
Great service and technical support. I even had my trailing arms rebuilt by them at a great price.

I live about 15 minutes from Wilcox and have spent a fortune there. They are great for parts and advice. Norm is my favorite sales person.
