Default Has GM discontinued the "MOD RED" door panels/seats/dash?? no longer in inventory?

Does anyone know the status on the availability of the MOD RED...

C5 interior parts have been scarce for quite sometime. I tried to find a replacement headliner 3years ago and was SOL. Your best bet is local classified, CFclassifieds, and or you could look into having a local upholster re-cover your trim pieces. I had my headliner re-covered as I could not find a new one.

I understand the local shops can recover, but is GM inventory depleted?

^^^ pretty sure it is...I have no doubts there may be some trim parts sitting in a bin or on a shelf somewhere long forgotten, but wouldn't hold my breath on actually getting them...

i know i'm gonna prolly get flamed here, but......

i've been wanting mod red in my car for ever and i either just miss some parts for sale or the price is not right. so after experimenting with some red plastidip, i went at it on my lower door panels, speaker grills, knee bolsters and glove box.

it looks factory and most people never know unless i tell them. so maybe try that route.

now, i just need to find some mod red seats for a good price.

good luck,

rich

ahaha....OK, i'll try to get some pics up this weekend.

and trust me, the whole time i was thinking "i hope i don't F this up". but i knew that if it didn't turn out decent, i could always pull it off......no harm, no foul.

edit: more of a teaser than anything, i found a pic i had of my new 8" double din mod. on either side you get the idea of the plastidip mod red....er....mod lol.

but i'll try to get more detailed pics up soon.

steve i'm in same boat as you i need a mod red seat cover drivers side. ain't nowhere to be found. last time i checked (2 years ago or so) it was hellaciously expensive, to the point i'd just as soon take it to a local trim shop to have it replicated, albeit with better quality materials. eventually, i'll be doing just that, at least to the driver's seat (passenger is still near perfect).
