Alright. Below is a link to a .zip file (416k) containing six pictures of the pieces I'm looking for. As you can obviously tell from the pictures, it was a failed painting experiment, and instead of sanding down/repainting, I'd like to just have two sets of everything that I painted. If you know for a fact that you DO NOT have any of these parts, please do not download this file--it's being hosted on my personal website, the bandwidth is low as-is, and I really don't want to have to find an alternative source of hosting.

Here is a brief description of the seven parts I'm looking for:

-Center dash bezel (containing center air vents and clock face, do not need the clock itself, but will purchase if necessary)
-Drivers side main air vent
-Drivers side upper air vent
-Passenger side upper air vent
-Front ashtray
-Rear ashtray
-Cigarette lighter (not pictured)

Please don't flame me, I know it was really really stupid to spray the vents, I learned my lesson and now I need parts. Willing to pay ANY reasonable price, and would prefer very fast shipping. To calculate shipping totals (if necessary), my ZIP code is 76051.

Thanks,

Why do you need new ones?Just sand them down and re paint them

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 -Brian
