Default Weatherstripping advice

After searching and reading many posts, I'm still going to reach out for some advice on what weatherstripping to use on my 95 coupe. First question: does anyone have any feedback on the product from Corvette Central? What about Lonestar?

Buy original GM stuff, you will be happier if you did.

I got a couple of pieces from the dealer because it was cheaper there than anywhere else. Got some more from Mid-America, and will buy the windshield and door W/S through a GM Vendor here.

The GM stuff is pure crapulance. Put a bunch on a few years back and it has already started cracking and spliting (garage kept). True a work of Goobernment Motors. For the price they charge it is an Obomination. Paper would hold up better. There is no reason they should have used a this material on their premier product line - except they wanted everyone to replace every couple of year and screw all the owners.

Good Point After I found out what it cost to replace the w/s , I started dressing it every month. Since, I have been doing that, I have been able to save the w/s that was good, and kept the new looking good. So, once a month I dress the leather and w/s.
