Looking for chrome hoops
Other than WCC who sells chrome hoops, i did see the ones that ecklers had but they suck, (the hoops and ecklers). Any advice will be helpful.
Thanks Al

I got mine from East Coast Corvette. I think they were about $325 > Check Ebay I saw that ECC had them listed today for $325

Is there a reason why you don't like WCC? I bought mine there and quite happy with them.

No doubt about it, these are the best available. Steve Matukas (Jack's son) supplies these. They are the same ones that Design Specialities had before they went out of business. Steve'e business is called Matukas Motorsports.
They have a booth at the NCM this week-end.

Have you ever thought about leather wrapped ones from Vette Essentials? Kinda pricey but they look awesome!

Anyone know if these will coexist with a vette net? Specifically the old vette nets that were made of mesh and were very tall.

How involved is the installation process for these hoops?

WCC is ok in my book, just wondering if there was somewhere else I could get them. WCC is close to my house also so if I can't find a better price anywhere else I might just get'em from them. Thanks for the info guy's.

Thanks
Only problem is, I can't tint my hatch window now, without virtually wasting the cost of the hoops
But, that's ok....I like 'em
