Default Weatherstrip from new York resto mod?

So I found a weatherstripping kit 7 piece on eBay for $289. I type in the eBay stores name on a search and they have their own site also. Their called new York resto mod. On their site the kit is $299. Just wondering if anybody out there might of bought a kit from them so I can find out the quality of the weatherstripping. If not I'll probably buy it anyway. I'm on a tight budget so trying to save on parts where I can. If anybody knows where I can get a good deal on the upholstery and door panels let me know. I have an 89 vette coupe. I've been to corvette central already.

Weatherstrip is one area not to skimp on with the C4s. Lots of junk kits that dont fit right out there.

"too pricey" - ??? - i think you mean "not too pricey. post #2 says it all - willcox - forum vendor, and an excellent bang for the buck. i installed a set on my 85 without issues.

Ok i'm going with willcox. And I figured the cheapest route to get my interior done. Was thinking about an interior kit with standard door panels and mounted seat covers, but figured out it would be cheaper to take my seats to a shop and have them recover them and buy my door panels and carpet sets seperate. It would be like $200 cheaper.
