Best Retailer or Website for Corvette Accessories?
Can someone suggest a couple of reputable Retailers or websites that I can visit that has corvette accessories (both internal and external)? I typically don't go overboard on mods but I do like doing small things like pedals, clear markers, etc.
I use SunCoast all the time for the Porsche, so I'm looking for a similar retailer/site for the new C7. One of the first mods will be to paint or cover the chrome strip in the front grille and make it black. Thanks for any help! Cliff |

I made a purchase from shopchevyparts.com, the prices weren't bad, they charge a lot for shipping and THE CUSTOMER SERVICE IS TERRIBLE. I purchased gm wheel locks, stingray floor mats and a indoor car cover. Month and a half later the cover is still on back order. Which is fine, however, I have gotten no correspondence from them. I have written emails asking what is going on and I get a reply saying "we don't know when it will be in". Again a month after, I have written two emails of displeasure and they have still yet to reply. I asked for shipping compensation... They offered to refund the entire order. WTF kind of customer service is that. I'm sure I speak on behalf of most of us, if I can afford a new corvette, I can afford to shop elsewhere.
I have written them an email stating to refund my purchase. Note to self: pay a little extra for good customer service. |

I took my car to the dealer today to have the diff topped off since it is equipped with the z51 package. I had the parts dept check and the indoor covers are on back order. My problem with shopchevyparts.com was the rude and poor service. Plus they could have shipped my other parts at the least.
Zimm, this was my first time ordering from them too. They looked reputable. However, I will order my parts elsewhere even if it cost a little extra. Glene, thanks for the info. I will take my business to gmpartshouse. |

I emailed shopchevyparts.com again today about my irritation with the customer service and the follow up. Thereafter, They canceled my order. I have yet to hear anything in response from them.
Zimm, I hope you have better luck. I will never utilize this company again. |

I second, (or maybe it's third or fourth by now) that shopchevyparts is the worst!
I ordered from them... not so much as a peep from them.... to keep the story short.... after over 30 days with no product I log in to see my order was canceled and all the "tickets" I submitted asking about my order status had been deleted. (they have me blocked on facebook now.... they deleted my negative review twice then just decided to block me ) I then placed the same order (indoor cover) from Gene at gmpartshouse and it was at my house 4 days later. So here are my recommendations: shopchevyparts - NO GMPARTSHOUSE - YES!
