interior pieces question
where is the best place to get good quality interior pieces. i dont want oem but i would like the aftermarkets that are pretty good. i know basically everyone sells them. i need pretty much everything, door panels, headliner, sun visers, dash pad (not the one that goes on top, want to replace it right) and other dash and guage pieces.
figured some of you had experience in ordering some of this. thanks in advance for the help.

Almost all the all the aftermarket stuff is the same quality. Heck my brother got some chrome letters for the back of his 86 tailgate panel from LMC and it came in a DC box with the DC half scribbled out. So it is mostly the same crap. You could buy doorpanels at a show for not too much, I found a set of immaculate black ones with perfect woodgrain inserts (which you can`t buy in reproduction to my knoweladge) for $200 vs repros for $180. Heck without the insert I see them go for like $40 a set for perfect ones. As for the headliner you probably have to buy a new one unless you luck into a good one or make your own like Bowtie_Schmowtie did on his shelby tribute truck post. You can buy good dashpads for like $20-$30 at shows and then the sun visors you can get for like $15. Then the dash insert pieces you can just buy, clean and repaint the silver. Little work but it wold save a ton of money and since it if just plastic it is pretty much the same quality for repro vs origonal.

I bought my carpet , visors and headliner from Stock Interiors, Door panels from some guy on fleabay. Carpet was perfect fit, headliner is great, I went with a fabric but they have vinyl too. It is on an ABS plastic backing and fit really well. I wish I had coughed up and bought the door panels from DC. The rest of my interior pieces have come from ebay and wrecking yards.
