Default Best interior parts vendor?

after finding out the hard way that Metro was better than OER for weather stripping I was wondering who are the best vendors out there for my interior parts?? I was going to buy the interior kit from classic industries but its made by OER and I dont trust their stuff now, any suggestions?

I would like to know everyone's thoughts. Once I get my car running fast enough I want to start on the interior.

my buddy has gotten everything for his 70 z28 from classic industries. he seems to be happy with everything so far. they rape you a little on shipping but they are like 20% discount right now iirc. i know they still had it goin on last week.

yea I get an email about once a week 20% off, but they omit some items in the fine print. It 's still a good deal as long as the stuff fits, I can tell you don't buy the weather stripping there.

Unfortunately,99% of the aftermarket parts for our cars is made by oer,there are a few suppliers that still have a couple original gm parts,but be prepared to pay out the butt.There may be others that make the interior parts,but i have not heard of any.The best option would be ebay or craigslist and find nice original parts that way you know there will not be quality or fitment issues.

I bought all mine from Biscay's Classic Chevy, and they sell PUI. According to them they said PUI was the best supplier. I found no issues with the PUI interior at all. Appears to be good stuff to me. Door panels were uncut, so the back side had perforations at the various cranks and rest, so if you had hand cranks, or electric operators, you could punch out what you wanted and not have extra holes to fill.
