Where can I buy these 2 parts? Mine are black, but I want to swap them out for red.

Upper Molding (#6 in diagram) http://www.discountoeparts.com/chevr...=upper-molding

Trim Pad: (#2 in diagram) http://www.discountoeparts.com/chevr..._name=trim-pad

They're not cheap... Going to cost you over $700.

Very good people to deal with.

Trim pad on passenger side is more involved than you might think.

You also need to order the Finish Panel part. This part covers the handle and makes the Upper Molding continue and look way better. I replaced mine with grey pieces. I don't have the red part #.

Like the OP, I've been thinking of picking and choosing some of the 3LT red interior parts for my black interior. Just how difficult was putting in those pieces? Was it a simple snap out/snap in job? Or were you taking out 15 pieces?

Give us a scale of 1-10 here. Thanks Red-C6!

I could be mistaken but I believe it's been posted here that the only way to get the color on the door panels is to replace the entire panels. If that's the case, it certainly wouldn't be cheap.

Is it possible to have the parts tinted (sprayed) in order to change the color? I understand that this is not satisfactory for seats but it might be good for fixed parts.

I used an auto upholstery shop to install the Upper molding and Finish panel. If you have interior trim tools you could probably do these parts yourself. The Upper molding snaps out and the Finish panel, you have two screws to remove it. When you receive the new parts you can tell how they are attached. The upholstery shop did not want to install the Trim pad, so I had the dealer install it. I know you have to remove the glove box first before you install the Trim pad. I did install the Console Side Panel, it took about 5 min. For most of my projects, what can go wrong will go wrong! Good Luck.

You are correct, they are very pricy if you can get them. Some colors are discontinued for some unknown reason.

Oh woof! I'm in that boat too... All thumbs! So, I think I should have someone eventually change out my seats with the red center seats, stain the thread and call it a day.
