This the only interior item that wont be stock looking,besides floor mats,& other minor touches.Wilcox said their price(by email) was around $400 |eek| so I'm gonna have to call them about that-it seems awfully cheap for leather thats a special order compared to other places I've seen.I didnt know there stuff was Corvette America either...

Call Wilcox back and ask them who they use....

I have purchased many many interior pieces thru Wilcox Chevy and in every case the supplier was a well know quality supplier..like Al Knock or American Custom Carpets, Auto ass of America..etc..

Wilcox just picks up the phone and orders the stuff and has it dropped shipped to your home...never touches the stuff that I know of..and they pass the savings on...

I would NOT be afraid to order any thing from these guys...

my carpet set was ordered from wilcox and it came from auto custom carpets.. the price was great.. the product was great.. ACC initially sent me the wrong carpet (80/20) instead of cut pile.. i emailed wilcox monday morning and tuesday morning some crazy person was knocking on my door at 8:30 am (anyone that knows me knows that knocking before 11 am is forbidden).. it was ups coming to pick up the wrong carpet..

the new carpet arrived that wednesday.

excellent service.

I will order from them again.

I told Wilcox today when I talked to them I heard that maybe one of their seat cover suppliers was Corvette America.He said that was true,& when I asked to look at some samples they were sent rite out.And they have the absolute best price I've seen yet. |thumb|

I just realized I saw that before.Looks good! I'm waiting to see those samples,because its hard to believe Wilcox can do mine for less than $400-but its like the original design,which was a combination of leather & vinyl.Its a bit more for 100% leather,but the guy tried taliking me outa that because he said it wouldnt wear as well. |headscratch| |blinkyeyes|

I think I paid Willcox around $625.00 for covered leather/vinyl 79 oyster seat cushions. They are going to do a set for $400.00 ? That may be right, if they are only 100% vinyl, no leather, and you do the covering work. Maybe their supplier CA is offering the same color choice as Mid-America. The C3 market is getting saturated with suppliers, everyone is after the same money, and the prices keep coming down, as one day the pipeline is going to be full.

The first set I received, the seams at the inside bolsters did not match up. Willcox called CA, then CA called me, I sent a picture to them, they said OK, then sent me a tag for UPS pickup. Two weeks later, I had a custom made set of cushions from CA. It had a tag on the box that said, 'Custom Made'. The invoice with the cushions said, "Seams must line up for this customer".

The seams do line up, perfect.

The item I called them about was on Ebay,listed as Leather seat covers.Then I asked about leather 2-tone versions.But I'm thinking I might as well just get the mounted ones instead,in leather.
