I bought a set of outer window seals for my 91 from JC Whitney. Seem to be pretty good quality, for half the price of MAD, Corvette Central, and Ecklers.

My first item from JCWhitney was a $9.95 floor shifter for my '53 Ford...then came baby moons and a set of Porta-Walls for the same car.
I was so cool then.
Now, I buy things like generic H4 headlight bulbs and door weatherstriping for my Chevy van...it's still junk, but it's cheap junk.
Remember dummy spotlights and nekkid women necker *****? How about Olds Starfire spinners to bolt onto your hubcaps? And the fake-fur package tray covers? Bullnose chrome strips to cover the holes left when you removed the hood ornament and couldn't afford to have them filled and repainted? Dummy continental kits (every C5 needs one...)?
Skull shift ***** with red jewel eyes that lit up! "LONE WOLF" license plates?

Last thing was back in the early 90's. Bought an aftermarket cruise control for an old pickup for about $69. Worked great for years.
Anyone remember those "engine overhaul" pellets that you dropped down the spark plug openings to mysteriously renew worn surfaces in your engine? A JCW staple.

Yep, remember those.
Or the turbulator exhaust tips. Get real turbo action, you can hear it!

I ordered some parts from them a long time ago for my old Trans Am... at the time the muffler was advertised in black and white with no name brand and what I got was a relatively dynomax... so I was pleasantly surprised. Later I ordered a new roof panel (I don't know how to describe it... it was to replace the headliner portion between the t-tops)from them thinking I could save some $$$ and got a shotty plastic part that didn't fit right and needed to be trimmed and manipulated with heat to flex it to fit... I haven't ordered from them since.

In the 70's I bought an alum. oil pan from them. When it arrived it was a "Weind" brand. Boy, I couldn't beleive it. Back then I bought all by hot rod stuff from "Honest Charlies" Anyone remember them? Larry
