Well since I am only 16 and the interior in my vette needs some spicing up I am looking for some places that sell parts cheaper than others. I priced out alot of stuff at ecklers and ended up getting alot of it waaaay cheaper at willcox corvette.(awesome to do business with as well)

Can you guys tell me places where you may have found the following parts cheap?
1. Floormats, any kind, prefer black. Wouldn't mind paying a bit more for some that are embroidered.
2. Console side trim panels, (the cardboard the carpet glues to) or does anyone know what exactly that stuff is so I can see if I can just buy a sheet of it and cut my own?
3. The black plastic drink holders that slip onto your ebrake
4. Where can I get the belt part of my seatbelts replaced? Or can I do it myself and just buy replacement belts?
5. I really want these black status sills that ecklers sells

but $70?! (I know I am cheap)
6. Where can I get printed circuit boards for cheap? The one behind the center console guages in my car is roasted due to me tapping it with a wire while installing my cd player :cuss

Thanks alot, any info would be appreciated.

I would patiently search ebay on a regular basis. If you want cheap, thats the way to go:)
Summit has replacement digital dash parts but they are not cheap. Otherwise try zip mabye?

He's talking about the printed circuit... the flexible circuit panel that wires up all of the guages in the center console. I'm doubtful that Summit would carry these, as they are corvette specific.

I have the speedo/tach circuit board from a 79 :seeya

i just went to Lowes and bought a large sheet of paper board, i think it was paperboard-the thin (~1/4") stuff that will flex without breaking-look around they have it should be near but probably not in the lumber department. i cut it and covered it. so yes this is possible, very cheap and it looks nice if you take your time. :cool:

Cheap Corvette parts? :eek: That's an oxymoron....there ain't no such thing as cheap (inexpensive) Corvette parts.

I JUST took out the curcuit board out of mine and am replacing with auto meter guages and custom dash. If your interested....e-mail me. :flag

Yep, even the cheap (poor quality) parts are not cheap (inexpensive).

Thanks for the great advice, I was looking around locally but I live in a real small town, lol.
There aern't inexpensive parts but there are parts that cost alot less elsewhere. I think I saved almost a grand by buying from willcox corvette and the parts were all topnotch.

Also is there anywhere that makes cheap floormats? Thats what I need real bad, and the ACC ones are kinda pricey.
