you can ford a river or stream and get to the other side, if you dodge it you will not, and if you drive a chevy to the levee it will run dry and the music will die.

Yeah, they don't have as much as some and the prices seem high. Worth the free price though. I like to get as many catalogs as I can for reference. Some places have things others don't.

I bought my carpet kit, seat cover, and door panels from Paddock. They were the only ones that carried the OEM dark green color. The quality is average to less than average. The carpet kit installed fine and matched the original weave but is fuzzing with little use. The seat covers fit OK but with a few loose threads showing around the piping and stitching at the front of the seat. The door panels were where the problems are worse. The chrome plastic trim started to wrinkle at the turns after a couple of months and the passenger side lower upholstery started to bubble and come loose from the backing at the same time. I have not made the effort to fix the loose part until I find out if the chrome trim will get any worse and it has on the passenger side with cracks and pealing now starting. Anyone know other vendors that carry the repo door panels for the Sport Custom in dark green? see pictures
