Your best bet for those parts is eBay bro.
First off: W0000000000000000T!!! Called 28 different salvage yards or places with salvage in the title. Got replies ranging from "This number has been disconnected" to "Domestics only. Damn ricer punks" and "Engines only", so I was starting to give up. Found a place that said he had a (1) 6GC on the lot, and started to drive out there. On the same street were two other junkyards, one that had a sign up 'Toyota Heaven'. I go in, and to my surprise find 8-9 6GC's, bazillions of 5GC's and many other cool Toyota's (MR2's, old Supra's..). Found about 5 sets of everything that I was looking for, picked the best of the best, walked out for $70. Still need the cigarette lighter, but I'll pick that up from the dealer. Ahhh, so happy =D

WBW_03, the vents are sprayed. You cannot 'sand down' the vents. It isn't going to happen. Plus, with as many layers of clear coat as I used, your arm will break off before you get all of the paint off of everything. If you look at the center console piece at the lower left corner, I sanded for about 2 hours and came up with those shtty results. Gave up. But hey, new parts are on and they look sharp!

LatinKraze, yeah, been looking for a while, there's a place that sells a lot of 5GC-related stuff, but nothing on ours. It's all good now though =D

Dammit!!! My junk yards here in vegas dont have any 6gc's.

Use easy off to strip the paint off, it eats it away without harming the plastics >biggrin.gif> My own lil experiment!
