Re: looking to buy interior parts

Evol,
There are sites that specialize in third gen interior parts like Hawks and Thirdgen Ranch with links on this site. E bay and others also have some parts.

However, I went old school and got on the phone and started calling junk yards asking if they had any third gen cars in their lots. I found several, drove to them and looked for what I wanted. All of them were cool to deal with and I got all of the hardware I needed. Here's what I got for $75: center console, radio pod, all hardware, seat belts (front and rear), different switches, 140 mph dash unit, and parts for the door panels. If you do a little looking at the junkyards you can find some of the things you need, I never have went to a junkyard before, and now I stop in all the time to see what they have and I always score a deal.

Good luck.

Re: looking to buy interior parts

Here's a few tips:

Clips to hold A pillars in place can still be had from the stealership (I just got a set).

If you have black interior, the large black plastic screws that hold in the rear interior pieces are in the HELP! section at most parts stores, along with the white pieces that they screw into.

There's alot of other goodies in the HELP! section as well, like exterior door handles in black and chrome and alot of speed nuts, clips, etc. for interior and exterior.

Alot can be found on eBay cheap with time and patience - I have boxes of extras I've accumulated from eBay over the years, some good, some not - but I paid very little for any of it, and I used the best pieces I got.

Good luck in your hunt.

Re: looking to buy interior parts

Um the interior of this car is blue and i havent really seen anything that was blue on those sites(well some of the stuff but not the hardest stuff i think would be)...would dual coloring the interior look like crap? like blue a pillars/black headliner and thats just a example or am i just better of gutting the entire inside and redo it overtime?

Re: looking to buy interior parts

Everyone does black - it's easy, it always looks nice with any color exterior, and the parts are a dime a dozen.

I might would keep the blue, and keep hunting for blue replacements - it would be original, not black, and worth more later when you finally accumulated all the blue pieces.

evol, I have a few different shades of blue for that headliner.If you would like some free samples, just let me know and I'll send you some swatches so that you can see how well it matches.

Re: looking to buy interior parts

Just so you know, you couldn't get a blue interior in a '91 RS so if your interior is blue that would mean it was swapped out at some point. Also, the A-pillars were always black no matter what color the interior was.

Re: looking to buy interior parts

Um not sure where the A pillar thing came from... but all the blue parts in the car range from the seats to the dash to the seathbelts them self to the carpet to the clothes hangers to the headliner to the sun deflector deals and the things that hold them to the headliner to all of the trim in the car to the doors them self to the deals that are on the seat that hold the seatbelt on ur shoulder... i mean EVERYTHING is blue minus the center console shifter stuff steering colum a pillars unless im thinking this really isnt blue but gray according to how some of the people lable some of those parts on the site but im pretty sure its blue unless im color blind


when i get the car bak ill take pics of everything

You posted about blue A-pillars earlier. It sounds like somebody swapped out your interior. All '91 Camaros came with a black dash so if that's blue your entire interior must have been gutted and replaced for some reason.

Oh sry i must have mistaken the wrong part the peice i was talking about is the part that runs along the headliner kinda where the top of the window on the door would met with the roof of the car on the inside and comes down along the glass on the from window they are bent kinda like a boomerang shape maybe its called the B pillar idk

Good call, I was going to say I have only seen blue on 82-84's at the latest.

Yes, those pieces are definitely gray. However, even if your interior is gray instead of blue your '91 should have a black dash. If it isn't black it was either replaced or dyed/painted.
