1982 1983 Firebird Trans Am GFX

HI,
Does anyone have any of those small GFX pieces for the 82-83 "Aero" Trans am. They were a wedge shape piece that went before each wheel opening. These are getting really hard to find, and classic industries does not sell them I don't think. If anyone has some they are not using please let me know.
Thanks

I could be wrong but I think it is the same piece that is on the later Trans Am's, so they should fit as well.

I've seen between 3-5 complete sets of these in local junkyards in the past month. Normally I'd buy them and resell them but lately there hasn't been any oportunity to make a profit off of it. Check your local salvage yards. If theres a real interest I can go pull a set or two, but it wouldn't be cheap.
BTW they were only used 82-84 and only on the Trans Am to the best of my knowledge.

Thanks guys,
I already checked in my area, but where I live there are not many third gens in junk yards because most of them went to the scrap to be chrushed.
Drew if you could let me know the price on a nice set it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
