Check on Panama City, Fl craigslist. I think its Denny's Corvettes. Just bought a set of Metro Super Soft for my 90 Formula. Have not installed yet waiting for paint, but, price was right.

Hey if your passenger upper weatherstripping (above the window) is not torn I'd be interested in buying it off you if your replacing them all.

Re: weather stripping kit... where to get one CHEAP

you'll be really happy to save the $ and really pissed if you get the cheapest one when you get to the install and the freakin thing does not fit resulting in your doors not closing right, window not going up properly, or worst of all leaks. Search for what people are happy with. I did the one from hawks and it worked out good.

Re: weather stripping kit... where to get one CHEAP

I said it before and will say it again.... the A1 kit is by far the most complete and the cheapest... Its even cheaper now than when I got mine and has more. The only stripping it did not have is the stuff that go's under the hood and around the tail lights. it has EVERYTHING else.
