Default Best source of OEM parts?

In the BMW world there are two well known online OEM parts stores: e.g. getbmwparts.com (silversprings) and tischer. Is there something similar for the vette?

I'm looking to get all of the interior trim pieces that are black (door handle, center console, waterfall, dash, etc) to wrap with real CF in a DIY project as well as lower diffuser.

thanks in advance.

You'll receive responses recommending different vendors 'cause we all have our favorites.

As for me, I like forum vendor GM Parts House. You'll find a link on the left....

I've used both CF dealer vendors and NEVER had a problem, complaint or reason to be unhappy.

I like to spread my Corvette accessory dollars around since they both provide a valuable service to us as individuals and the Corvette Forum in general.

I have found that GM Parts Direct has the best prices.

+1 for Bob at Fitchner. I've used most if not all our forum vendors. Bob is my Go To source. He has the best pricing and best service in my experience.

I've used both and they are top notch. GM Parts Direct, not so much.

yea GM Parts Direct has the lowest prices, but they have almost no customer service, their return policy is difficult at best and they are not a CF supporting vendor and you need parts numbers to use the web site for anything other than some accessories.

shopchevyparts.com also has great prices, better than GM parts direct for a lot of accessories I bought (sill plates, floor mats, mud guards etc)

Thanks everyone I appreciate all the comments. I'm looking to DIY the interior with CF like the Apsis interior, so purchasing all the pieces is going to add up quick.

I've had good dealings(ie: good prices and deliveries) with Chris at SDPC, a forum sponsor. They are a GM dealer. 1-800-456-0211
