Steves post about Calyx made me wonder about a few things...
How many of us have a favorite suplier(s) product(s)?
I was thinking that maybe some of these items we might be able to list and create a sticky thread for future member reference.
If they are suppliers then they could be contacted to see if they would be willing to be C3VR sponsers.
I'll start with an item which I thought would look kewl in the back window of my truck. I have contacted them and asked if he could modify the design slightly (remove the powerboats portion) and give us a price cut.
STINGRAY
The other is a supplier that I buy parts from locally. They have a nice little show room and do a few local cruise shows that provide food, music, and fun. They also do some major show including Corvettes of Carlisle THE PADDOCKTuxblacray 2009-01-11 10:12:09

Tux, I'm a big fan of Summit Racing....but of course they're close to me, and carry just about everything.

Do they carry an array of Corvette parts? Do they have a website? Email address? I did a Google search and got refridgeration systems.....

Jim does trailing arms, diff rebuilds, steering boxes and up to overall restorations. He sells the TAs on Ebay. Great guy, best prices you'll find. Tell him you're from the site or mention my name. He always does the right thing. 608-365-0911.
No website unfortunately.

This isn't Corvette specific, but my favorite supplier of car care products is Griot's Garage. I find their products outstanding...particularly their Carnauba Wax Stick and Best of Show Wax. Their Undercarriage Spray is also excellent and a product you don't normally find in a mass merchandiser store.
Great stuff...not that there aren't other brands of excellent products on the market but I find Griot's products to be superb.

As far a service Sam is the best. I once ordered a lower entry set of Rocker Trim. I didn't like them so he took them back at no cost for ship and sent me the premium set at no extra cost. He also has a Fleabay store.
Ecklers seems to have a lot of stuff no one else carries.
Summit Racing does have the best supply of performance parts
