Default Has anyone used wilcox for parts?

Hi
I have a 79 that I am currently working on I need to redo the interior. After surfing the web I came upon a vendor that had some real good prices. As we all know a good price and good quality do not always go hand in hand. I was wondering if anyone has used Wilcox and what kind of products or experience have they had? Thanks

Interiors are expensive no matter where you buy them. It depends on what you want your car to be. If it is a daily driver you may want to go with the cheapest. If it is something you want to ahow hten I would go to Al Knoch Interiors. They have the best quality and are the colsest to being correct that I have seen. They are not the cheapest but I have always gone with the old adage that you get what you pay for.

If the price is the cheapest the quality will follow. As the saying goes if you marry a stripper you shouldn't be real surprised if she takes her clothes off in public. I am just full of cliches today.

I replaced my 70 Cpe with Al Knoch deluxe interior(leather & cut pile) and was very pleased with the quality. I didn't feel it was worth saving a couple of bucks for something I would be sitting in and looking at for the next 10 years. If I was looking to turn the car quickly it would be a different story.

Wilcox is a great place to get your Corvette Parts, they have been in the business for many years.

Thanks,Lee

Wilcox Brothers are great! I restored my 77 L82 last year and bought everything from them. They are a distributor for Corvette America and even send you their catalog with a Wilcox Brothers sticker on it. Their prices are lower than the Corvette America prices in the catalog also. Much lower in many cases. When you call ask for Norm and tell him that I recommended them. Great prices, super service and fast shipping. What more could you ask for. They even do restorations, so they know Vettes inside and out.
