Received my Year One catalog over the weekend and in doing a little price shopping against Paddock, found them to be alot more $$$. Im guessing there are alot of places better to shop for quality products at fair prices. Can you give me a few leads in this area?? Thanks!

Last carpet kit I bought was from ACC and they had good customer service (they color matched a sample of my original carpet.) R/T specialities is good for all the small screws, retainers, and such. Try Year One for electrical harnesses. I got some electrical harness stuff from another vendor, and one was too short, another had the wrong connectors I bought reproduction parts off E-bay. A glove box liner, fuel tank, trunk floor (two piece). The trunk floor did not have the drain holes punched out. I have bought lower quarter patch panels and other parts from Hardens, but that was several years ago. BE&A seems to have some nice parts, but I have not bought anything from them yet, but I'm making a list for when I have some extra $$$ (maybe if I get a tax return?)

I would also recommend Dante's, very nice to deal with and competitive on price, and if you have a question he'll call you back long distance on his dime to help.
