cheap place for GM parts...... im in desperate need for a convertible top but the best price my buddy at the dealership gave me was $1200. Anyone know where i can get it cheaper?

I doubt you could find cheaper locally. Even if you found it cheaper elsewhere, the cost of shipping wouldn't save you any money in the end. I would look in a junk yard or in the For Sale section. Someone may be parting out a convertible.

I believe COSCO is running a sale on crates of duct tape. 
I'd try gmpartsdirect.com. I don't know if it'll be cheaper, but I'm betting they'll have it. The only thing is that they shove it up your cornhole for shipping. I'd get a quote before I ordered for sure.

I can find the phone number when i get to the shop tommorrow. I believe the place is in long beach.They do alot of repro seat covers for 3rd & 4th gens also. I did a search for them & it said JCWhitney sells their tops. I'm not sure if thats correct but if it is the same company it should be a nice top. I ordered one for a 95' camaro. It's a two peice top & you can order it with or without a new back glass.(the canvas that the glass is attatched to is the second piece of the top.

i would greatly appreciate it!!! i got the quote from the dealership and i didnt know it was a two piece.....the best they could do was 1200for the top and 500 for the glass and canvas.
