Where can I buy this?

Unfortunatly I need to get another one of the panels that the trunk release switch is mounted to. You know, the one that is above the AC controls...
What is that called? Is there a name for it?

Anyone know where I can pick one up?

Thanks,
Daniel

I think your best bet is a pick a part junkyard. I got mine for $10 at a local yard. If that doesn't work, I know Ames Performance Engineering sells them. Web address is www.amesperf.com. I tried looking it up, it said the price was $61. I didn't have my catalog in front of me, so hopefully that's the right item. Your last choice would be dealer. If you're on good terms with them, they usually will give you a discount. Good luck.

Where do you mean?
All that is in the front of it is the trunk release switch.
On the bottom are 2 mounting holes.

Do you have any pics of it?

The switch panel had 1, 2, or 3 holes depending on if the car has rear defrost, foglights, or hatch release, or any combination... They list for about $20 from a dealer, but at least the 2 hole panel is discontinued. I had a 3 hole panel that I sold a while back. They're relatively hard to find in the junkyards since 90-92 birds don't show up very often. When I added the hatch release to my formula I had to have a board member pull one out of a firebird sitting in a junkyard in WV and mail it to me.
