warning! catalogs may become addictive and you will buy everything in those catalogs. As above, check with the forum vendors first and then go to the many other catalogs that are out there to take your good hard earned money. Have fun

Others have catalogs as well... Mid America, West Coast Corvettes, Corvettes Central, to name a few. A lot of duplication but I've found that Corvettes of Houston to have pretty good prices (no catalog - just a web site:http://www.corvettesofhouston.com)

My wife used to say "oh no...not ANOTHER catalog!" Since she got her C4, I get to look at them AFTER she does. Goes to show you how addictive they can be.

It's not like we didn't warn you. The catalogs are great. Like a one stop shop for all our wants. I'd suggest you check out West Coast Corvette and Mid America as well. Shop around for price and do ask on the forum for anyone's experiences with a particular vendor or part. We've collectively "been there, done that" and some of us even got the T-shirt.

I can vouch for that. Very slow and of course, items backordered.

Mid-america gives out free catalogs too. I get about 1 every 2 months. I've ordered a few stuff from them too. The only thing that sucks is that whenever I buy from them. I pay Illinois sales tax and shipping. Otherwise, they are pretty much good vendors. Like others have said. Shop around, some parts are cheaper than others and so on and so forth.
