what is this part called, please help

i am wanting to buy parts for this car i just bought, i have found every other part except for these final pieces, so i need some help figuring out what to search for?

they are the blank plastic piece that are on the door panel right next to where the door handle connects to the door(it looks like four star screws,one in each corner, hold them in), and their are two on each door panel.

some cars have some sort of power switch(probably looks or windows) in these areas... i have searched everywhere typing in bezel, cover, ect...so please help

what is this part called, and if anyone has some for sale in good condition, i am interested in purchasing them.

Re: what is this part called, please help

Those screws you are seeing are faux screws, they don't come out. It's all one piece.

all of them are not faux screws, after a bit of research i find that the standard vehicles of all standard firebird models(non-deluxe/gtatrans)from 82-88 were removable

Okay, you were talking about the small little solid panel . I think some of the screws in the whole piece are faux though, but they match the real ones. It's been awhile since I owned a car with those, my GTA is nothing like that.

Re: what is this part called, please help

yeah, two are faux on each side...

i know how you feel, i've never owned an older car, i took it to work and someone said, "it looks like something out of a van helen video"...

this car had quite a bit of work put into it, trans am bumpers, and ground effects kit, newer tail lights, custom paint, custom made hood, ect.

the person also started with the right intentions on the interior, he has a gta dash, roll cage, then he got sloppy and just started messing things up. now i have to fix it and make it right

i'm going to post some pics, when i get my wheels on, their on the way(c6 with rivets)

Re: what is this part called, please help

that piece your looking for is called the door handel bezel. theres many pieces to it though. youll have to buy the door lock switches, door lock bezels and the door handles and lock **** is sperate to. and if you have power mirrors thats seperate as well.

Yea, if you didn't read my posts a few up, I already found the parts.

I was well aware that the bezel, is not one piece. I've taking quite a few door panels off, most recently on my 93 t/a, because I'm completely redoing the interior.

Keep in mind not everyone had power options, so mine were blank. I had to find the delete pieces; I was searching for the right part, but none were for sale; when I was looking.

On the 82-88 non deluxe firebirds, the bezels were different; and that is what 80schild forgot.
