Default where can you get fat daddy frame savers?

i used the search function i promise and google didnt net very good results either. somehow in the past i came across a thread on this site that had a link to a vendor that carried the frame savers for the front and the rocker savers as well as a package deal. i like the fat daddy's the best based on the photos ive seen/threads ive read. so anybody have a good vendor they like to do business with that carries this stuff?

CCA Cutom Corvette Assessories. Chip is one of the vendor's, here on the forum. I suggest going with the fat MaMa's.

Well, the guy who actually invented these things is Andy at A & A Corvette. I've had his stuff on my 02 since a couple months after I bought it new in April of 02. The Fat Daddy is just a copy.

sweet thx guys.

looks like im going to have to mix/match. go with either the fat daddys/mamma's and different rocker protectors other than the ones CCA offers. i think i'd prefer the ones with the pucks on them.

i just now typed in "corvette frame savers" in google.. and all the sudden all the results i need are right there. i dno wtf changed but i dont mind. thx again

if anybody were to search in the future for this.

the urethane type ones are here

http://www.eliteengineeringusa.com/Rocker_Savers.html

they also have other frame rail options, including the aluminum rocker savers with jacking pucks built in. NO IDEA what kind of quality they are. but there ya go.

btw, this is the same site i came across to begin with that i was trying to find again. took almost 2 hours of my life but.. yea.

i just scanned i didnt see this place as a vendor. so if i broke some kind of forum rule i apologize and just delete this post.

thx again for those who chimed in.
