@hawksthirdgen used to offer this as a reproduction but it's no longer listed on their website. I was going to buy a set.

They commonly crack and/or warp.

I also noticed hawks no longer offers them. They were priced at $40. I don't see why they couldn't be 3d printed for far less

I was thinking the same about 3D printing. Should be an easy process, not too much detail to the part and small enough too. Can be painted to match.

Re: 1989 GTA armrest bezel trim

A few years ago, I bought a set from hawks, and they looked to be 3d printed...

Re: 1989 GTA armrest bezel trim

I'm the guy who was making these. I just don't have the time to sand/prime/paint them anymore so I stopped selling to Hawks. I can provide blanks for anyone who wants to do the finishing work and paint them. Takes about 5 minutes of hand sanding them with 150-200 grit, then a final sand with 400 grit, prime, and paint.

I'm selling the blanks for $25/pair shipped if anyone wants them you can DM me.

I'm still catching up from the orders from the TTA guys, I'll post an official thread in a week or two once I am ready to make another run.

If you are willing to ship overseas, I'll take a set for my GTA.
