Thats the only kit for an '88 Coupe I've found so far, that price sounds friggin insane for some basic cheapo weatherstripping, really all I need is the seals around my drivers side window to replace it but I'd like to do all the seals but not at that price.
Did I miss the train or is this just ridiculous gouging of prices?

Weather stripping for C4's is outrageous, so that is not out of line,but I found I did a little better with the guys at the last detail www.tld-corvette.com in Atlanta

Thanks guys, I'm trying to get my new 'Vette in basic perfect stock condition before winter hits on a very very slim budget till I sell my 2000 cougar, and things like that shocking me at $750 just wasn't going to help 
I've already had one offer for someone to buy the 'Vette off of me, I love all the looks I get at every car related place I go even though she's in no where near top shape, heh needs Oil change/new tires/new belts, etc....
Yet she's running strong as an ox, hehe enough to scare the pants off of both the passenger and myself the few times I've let her get to WOT
Well off to my local mechanic to do the Oil change and a complete inspection of the car, then off to Tire Discounters to get my 4 new tires put on (f'in expensive but Walmart don't have our tire size ;P)

try paging jeff kopp/18carfan(screen name). Seeing you're a forum member He'll work with you. He's at Superior Chevrolet in Kansas City. I got mine from him,and I think it was the lower $700 range. SUPER Guy to deal with too.

What is the quality of the weatherstrip from corvette rubber like. They are $300-$500 less than everyone else. Are we getting what we paid for in the meaning of a low quality piece. Just wanting to know before I order.

I replaced my weatherstripping with Corvette-Rubber.Com Replacement Weatherstripping which is a quality product made in Canada.
I would highly recommend their product
Getting the old weatherstripping off is always fun, so I would recommend you get some weatherstrip adhesive remover, and also by yourself a new tube of GM weatherstrip adhesive or equivalent.
