question: Where can I find plastic interior trim pieces?

Stuff like seat control covers, door ash tray covers, those clips that hold the center box closed. stuff like that? Theres gotta be a good source around the internet some where! Yet I search and search and I can't find any good sources. My car is in really good shape but the last owner was/is wheel chair bound and him having that in the car with him did a bit of a number to some of the small weaker clips and stuff. I'd really like to fix that!

Here is where a million dollar idea can be born. If you can't get the parts, negotiate for the right to produce the design for missing part productions via a 3d printer...Seems like it would work, anyway.

wrecker. Little plastic pieces are usually pennys.

my model year is realatively low production adn a lot are still on the road. the biggest issue is the stuff I want if it does exist is usually the wrong damn color! ugh. or as is the case usually, already gone...

for a lot of stuff no, but I'll be honest I may not call it the right things or again, wrong color!

I like using car-part.com for finding stuff like this. It's a national scrap yard database.

Patience will be your friend. If possible get a donor car with the same trim and strip what you need, sell surplus and scrap the shell? It's a never ending problem, finding the right parts, imagine how it is for the guys restoring 70+ year old cars back to original specs! Good luck

I can't even imagine! and mines only 10 years old! but it's not very well loved by many. where i feel like those older cars have people just looking for and saving parts.
