I think Willcox has the best price on carpet and door panels. Pick the seat covers you like best from (CC, MadVet, etc) or risk Al Knoc for custom covers.
Not sure what else you need....

Corvette America is where I got mine, and here's a newsflash, they make them for the other companies.
I paid $2900 for two new sport seat leather covers mounted on foam(the only way to get them for 94-96), two new door panels, and new carpet. Also a new shifter boot and the lower shifter boot(six speed) and a new shifter console plate.
The price should be a bit less for your '89.
Go to their website, look for the 800# and go to ext 219, that will be Jim, the man who helped me as well a few other forum members.
They offer 10% off a complete package.

Try Al Knoch or Corvette America.......
Have had great luck on parts with both places. A friend who runs an auto interior shop only uses Al Knoch on C1 & C2 cars. And I have Al Knoch carpets in my 1966 C2 convertible and they look and fit great. If your thinking about re-doing the carpets consider adding DYNAMAT WITH THE FOIL BACKING under you carpets. You will be amazed how much quieter the car is inside and less heat as well.

Hi there, I purchased my leather seat covers from Willcox and they were the best deal I could find. I also had purchased a new wheel from them before and will get new carpet and door trims from them soon. Had no problems even posted to Australia. Willcox even get their covers from corvette america. Thanks Andrew.

Wilcox carpets are made by ACC , Wilcox Ebay store has the best prices around, I just bought full mass back set for $420 incl shipping.
Check Contemporary Corvette under new parts for door panels, they are the best price by far.

If I led you to believe that then I owe you a sincere apology. While the companies are friendly competitors, Al does make his own line of C4 Seats.
Regardless, thanks for the kind words earlier.

I know some people bad mouth ebay, but it is a restorers paradise, if you have the time and patience you can find almost anything you want at a reasonable price, and the parts are OEM. It is like having a parts swap meet that everybody in the country can attend. I have purchased rear end assemblies (around $50) to leather seats (just bot a beautiful set for a 92 with like new leather mounted on foam for about $175), plus many other parts for several different cars. It is especially great when you have a part that you would replace if the price was right, and in better shape then the one you have, but you don't have to make the move until you want to. Even on hard to find and need em now parts I have had pretty good luck. Personally I just run a general search using C4 once a week just to see what is up for sale. Most interior parts are available from a variety of people. Have fun with your restoration!
