There's a section with feedback about vendors.

Good vendor. I have ordered many painted items from them. Car covers and other, non-custom items are usually drop-shipped by the manufacturer so shop around for best price.

If you plan on using it sometime in the summer of 2023 and beyond, now would be a good time to order from them.

I have bought a few things from them and they are good to go. However, their website is awful and you have to call or email directly to get any status updates. The link on their site to inquire about your order appears to go nowhere as I never got responses using it vs. a direct email to their customer service address.

Painted parts take a long time to ship. I bought a Z06 grille and it took right at 5 weeks. But, the quality was very good when it arrived.

I have purchased a number of car covers from Cover Craft located on OK. You can buy direct or search EBay for a cheaper price. The most important thing is that They Honor Their Warranty. On four cars that stay outside, I purchased the Weather HP with a four year warranty, the threading on the seams deteriorated after 3 years, and they sent me a new cover. For the next two cars, I purchased the Ultratech Cover, that is a thicker material, and has a five year warranty. The covers fit all my cars perfectly, and on my 73 convertible, I had the cover made with special measurements, for the infamous luggage rack.
