I bought mine from Willcox. I have a coupe though and the coupe prices were better and also american made. They are also a site sponsor and give forum member discounts.

Looks like a good price, as long as the quality and fit are there..

Don't think any are American made. I have dealt with Wilcox and they were honest and nice to deal with.

I purchased these from Lone Star Car Parts for my 93 coupe when I painted it. It was very complete and the vendor was a joy to work with. They installed flawlessly and now two years after I still have no leaks and the car is sealed tight as a drum. The price has gone up a bit, if memory serves, but marginally at best. As an added benefit they make them right here in Texas and about $60 less expensive. See bottom right on first page.

Thanks I'll look into it. This is what the three others looked like and then split.

I bought a set from Wilcox and it split in the same spot. They don't answere the phone or e-mail. Not very good customer service.

That looks like a good price for a home grown Co.
Does the feel of the product feel like the OEM as advertise?

Try WWW.VIPCORVETTE.COM. $375 for 7-piece. They order from a high quality corvette catalog. I don't want to break forum rules so I won't give the name just to be on the safe side. They will probably give you any information you need, I was very satisfied with the price and quality of the kit. Be Patient when installing. Good Luck

I have no issues w/Willcox. They are my preferred supplier of all things Corvette.
