new to corvette world......need parts

[mrpixur]

i recently bought my first corvette. it is a 1988 convertible which is cosmeticly rough. i need to find the following:

a black leather steering wheel
black door panels, seats (both electric and adjustable), and carpets
the emblem that says "corvette" on the back trunk

i think that there are a number of years in which the parts are interchangeable, so since my car is driver, not a show car, i am okay if the parts are from other years. i, live in sarasota florida, so anything in floirda would be great, but i would not rule out getting good materials from out of state if necessary. please feel free to email me at mrpixur@aiwire.com


thanks

Mr Pixur, Welcome to the site. There are a few places locally you can get used parts, here are a couple. C&S Corvettes and Corvettes West in Sarasota, The Corvette Store in Tampa. Try them they might have what you need.

Corvette store is a great place with great people. Give c4guru.com a try and corvetteforum.com (the corevett forum site sucks except for thier for sale section) and look for people parting out thier car. Another good one is car-parts.com

Welcome to the site, and get some pics up of the whip.

Pixur!

You might want to wander up the Welcome Room and introduce yourself. Most people on this site are pretty friendly.

Exactly
C4guru is now Corvette-Guru.com but a lot of thye people there were from the old C4 section at the other place. A LOT of C4 knowledge and parts floating around the guru

There are quite a few C4 owners here as well and you'll find everyone is willing to help out
Just sold my 87. You'll love your 88.

Raidmagic on here is doing an LS swap into his.
