Where do you buy corvette parts
I've always been into jeeps and trucks and can find parts online all day but when it comes to corvettes, I'm not really sure where to look. Where do you guys go for aftermarket parts online?

To many to choose one. For me it typically comes down to who has the best price or stock on a given item. I use MidAmerica, Corvette Central, Ecklers, Corvette Mods, Southern Car Parts, RPI, Corvette America, eBay and Amazon. Not every Corvette store has everything and not everyone has the best price on everything, so you have to be flexible at times!

Depends on the part and there are too many sources to list; my general rule of thumb is if I'm replacing an OEM part, I find the cheapest place that sells the GM replacement. Most of the time this is from an on line source. For aftermarket, custom and/or add-ons, I do a little research to find the best quality at cheapest price. One of the first places I check for these types parts/accessories is here on the forum and the Camaro forum (if I'm looking for something for my Camaro)

One reason there are not a lot of aftermarket parts suppliers is because there aren't a lot of improvements that can be made to what the factory builds. But there are some and for Corvette parts I would never buy from anyone who isn't one of the forum vendors. You will get what you order from them. If you don't they won't be here long. You've been here for over 6 months so you should know where to find them. But for others reading this who might not here is a list of the many dozens - https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums..._directory.php

I think all here have pretty much summed it up! Be flexible; lots of good suppliers and some better for some things than others!
