Technically you can get one out of any camaro/firebird from 82-92 that has one. The only difference is that they changed mid-run from vinyl to canvas. The mounts are plastic and screw into stamped steel brackets that are welded to the body. So you'd have to have the shade, the mounts, the brackets, and the decklid trim panel, and you'd have to cut your existing rear cargo panels.

For the little brackets that were welded to the body, I made a pair & screwed them to my car. When I found my donor car, I took aprart the rear trim pieces. Then I measured there size & bent 2 pieces of sheetmetal for mine. Screwd it to my car.

worked like a champ.

I paid a whole $5 bucks for the shade & everything else.

Keep in mind the trim piece on the hatch needs to also be replaced. There is a piece of metal that has 2 hooks that you clip your cover to.

The car I got my shade out of was Gray, I have a black interior, so I removed the metal piece & figured out how to modify my trim piece.
