It all depends on what you are looking for. I purchased my car cover and open lid air cleaner from Mid America. My GS brakes were purchased from Exotic Muscle.
It pays to look around for stuff.

I use them alot. They may not be the cheapest all the time but they have great service and fast delivery. And it doesn't hurt that the owner is on the Board of Directors of the Corvette Museum, :seeya

For Corvette new and used parts I use Contemporary Corvette; for new parts sometimes I use MAD, Eckler's and my local GM dealer.
For more generic parts I like Summit; for valve train parts I went directly to Comp Cams.
For gaskets I usualy get FelPro at my local AutoZone.

Also look around here for Jeff Kopp, 18carfan I think. He has great prices, service and knowledge
Otherwise I have found TLD to have much better prices than MAD

I use Corvette Central, Eckler's, Zip, and The Last Detail. I have had no trouble from any of them.

You might be surprised, at times the full bore price at the dealer is cheaper than MAD. One example is the replacement shaft for the antenna, Dealer $20, MAD $30.
Agree with most of the comments above...shop around and by all means give Jeff Kopp a shot, he's a great guy, very helpful and generally the best prices on OEM/GM parts.

I'm more into parts than accessories so with that said Jeff Kopp and Summit have earned my trust! :cheers:

I have a lot of luck with Corvette Central. Parts are almost always in stock and prices are better than most.

Jeff Kopp (sp?), vett2vett for new and used and well, I have used MAD in the past...Although I have not had very good luck on a full seal/gasket set from TLD (3+weeks responce time on a price alone), they had very quick ship time on the U-joint set I grabbed.
