they are pretty good. I like them and i like ecklers when i am looking for specialty parts. I like Mid-America (madvet.com) more though because they completely describe what you are getting. Sometimes ecklers like to slack up on it.

They seem less expensive than ecklers, but was wondering about quality. you know these days you get what you pay for but some stuff is just rediculously high.

Yeah, Ecklers is pretty expensive and Mid America seems a little cheaper but sometimes cheaper isnt exactly better. I prefer Mid America to Ecklers anyday, only because of their lack of thorough item descriptions and pictures. I absolutely HATE when you go to a site looking for something and the name sounds right but there is no picture to look at and there is no item description so you dont know what you are getting.

I agree with 94BLACKC4. MidAmerica is good! I have ordered quite a few parts from them and they have always come through with the right parts. Eckler's seems to be out of parts a lot. Another source (for used parts especially) is Contemporary Corvette. I purchased a roof panel from them and it looks and fits perfectly!

I am a HUGE fan of MADVET. High quality. Excellent selection. Very knowledgeable. Reasonable prices. And.....most important of all to me ****BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER****

By the way, their return policy rocks

I agree, i would go with madvet just because of their customer service. Ecklers is great, as long as you dont have a problem with your purchase

I use MidAmerica, Corvette Central, and Davies. Good service with all three of them. Shop around as far as prices, they vary depending on the item.
