WTB 4th gen Convertible Interior Trim

[ModernMuscleHead]

Okay I need to find some convertible trim and I can't seem to find it anywhere. I'm looking for the front seat belt covers for a 4th gen convertible. These are the parts that the plastic boot inserts into and I need them in Graphite. Another part I'm looking for doesn't have to come from the convertible. I need a drivers side switch plate cover for a power window power mirror car also in Graphite. If anyone has this let me know please.

You want 'em cheap, or you want 'em nice? I bought some NOS ones from a parts dealer in Florida before I figured out how to use the Jim Fresard parts website. If GM still has them (I'm not sure, it seems that lately they discontinued a whole bunch of 4th Gen stuff), I'd just order them through the Fresard site. Otherwise, I may possibly have one used one from a 1999 parts car, but I don't remember which side, and I don't think the color was exactly graphite either. Let me know if you're interested at all.

GM discontinued them. I looked in the dealer network and there is not a dealership in the U.S. that has them. I'd like them to be fairly nice. Both of mine were and last summer my wife and I took a trip in the car. We had the top down and it started to rain so I pulled under an over pass. She didn't do it on purpose, but she started pulling the boot before I took the middle piece out. She popped it off the passenger side and I pushed it back in place. I forgot to replace the screw and the next time I dropped the top it went flying off at about 75 MPH.

I can dig up the name of the place that I bought my replacements from if you want -- seems to me that I found them through eBay. It was shortly after I bought the car, so I woudl have bought these parts a little over two years ago. I'll check out what I have and will get back to you.

If you can find It I'll thank you. I've looked on Ebay, local salvage yards, craigslist, I can't find them anywhere.

I found the one cover that I thought I had -- it's a passenger side piece from a '99 vert so I think it's more graphite than ebony. It's not broken, but it has some scratches and a nice 1/2" surface cut on it. I don't know if it's something you'd be interested in as it's not perfect, but it's better than a gaping hole I guess... Let me know.

The place I bought my replacement piece from in February 2009 was Brock's Camaro & Firebird in West Columbia SC. Jerry Brock is the proprietor -- their website is at http://brockscamaroandfirebird.com

FWIW, at the time, they charged me $18 apiece for the covers.

I'll give them a call, what do you want for the one you have right now just so I have something to go on there ?

Do you live close to sman (Spencer)? If he comes down to Woodward tonight, I could just give it to him to take back to Burton.

I don't really have a use for the part, and it's not exactly perfect (it may still clean up nice enough so it won't be an embarassment on your car), so how about I just give it to you for a donation of $5 or so to the MiFBody.com server hosting fund? Let's share the love with B and keep this little shindig going.

If sman doesn't make it down tonight, just PM me your addy and I can mail or FedEx it to you.

I don't know where Spencer lives in Burton, but it's not that big of a place. If you see him and you don't mind passing it to him I'll hook up with him. I'll pass $5 on to Brian at M&G then if that works.
