Brent Franker is who everyone goes to for f-body vinyl.

GMPartsDirect is also a widely used store. I all the parts I needed for the one touch down on my passenger window from them.

Yep, I've ordered from GMPartsDirect several times. It's all good stuff, just sometimes takes them a while with things on back order, but tha'ts to be expected.
I haven't ordered anything from Brent Franker, but I've sent him some emails before about some vinyls he sells. He responded to me in a very timely manner, and was eager to help me decide too. He definitely has good prices on the things he sells.

I have got a ton of decals from franker, great guy, sometimes gets backed up with orders, but quality stuff.

gmpartsdirect.com is a good site as well.

gmpartsdirect is great and will do their job... as far a franker, well I haven't ordered from him but I've never heard anything bad. On every forum I hear good things about his products and service.

Good prices on GMPD but sometimes the handling and shipping charges are a bit over the top.

Local dealer parts departments have control over their pricing. Try a few GM dealers and you might get a comparable price. Oh, they also have diff terms when it comes to restocking charges and stuff, good to know if you think you might return something.

I've bought several parts from gmpartsdirect and have been 100% happy - Good prices and quick shipping.

I've bought once from Bfranker - he shipped the goods very fast and was very friendly.
