Local Chevy dealers = rip off experts.

Checkout our sponsors, they sell the same wires or aftermarket equiviant for much less.

Just go to the AC Delco website and use the search for independent parts dealers in your area. Many other places besides just chevy dealers carry or can order you the wires . I did the same thing for my plug wires except i bought OEM Z06 wires for my Z28 and i got them for 59 bucks. They work alot better than the OEM Camaro wires plus they are a mm or so thicker and still let you use the OEM heat sheilds.

you can also get GMPP wires, they are 8mm, and mine were about $60... they come in red or black too. They were part number 12495519, and listed for $62.24.
