I guess my answer would be you can't. The original suppliers to GM stopped making the parts many years ago. There are companies making high-quality reproductions, however. Check the Forum sponsors list.

Hi Andrew,
I believe Paul is right about this. New Old Supplier interior parts are now in the hands of individuals. If you find what you need you'll probably need a wheelbarrow to get your money to them.
The quality of the reproduction interior parts, seat covers, carpets, etc. vary GREATLY. So you'll need to do some homework. Getting the colors to match on the various pieces is one of the largest challenges. How the reproduction parts fit is another.
It's worth the effort because of how dramatically a restored interior changes the car!
Regards,
Alan

agreed with above, most older parts are discontinued for any car really and if you find someone who has a nice original sitting around its a rediculous cost. i redid my entire interior with mostly reproduction parts and it looks fine, everyone loves it, goodluck

The seat covers were purchased during one of Willcox' sales. I opted for leather-like owing to the very reasonable price. I drive ~1,000 each year so they will last a long time.
The weatherboots are from a company called Fox.
In order to reduce wear-and tear on the top I have a cabin cover for those show days when rain threatens.
I work slowly so this little project took most of the 2008 driving season. But it ready to go for 2009 in about four weeks' time.
Needless to say I enjoy both tinkering and driving.
Cabin cover attaches near wipers in front and has studs for rear deck brackets at back.
A Forum member kindly made this up for me.
I have a list of about 20 things-to-do when my car comes out of winter storage in April. One of the first is these unique Stingray emblems for the front fenders. Tinkering never stops.

Several months ago someone posted a thread re; their interior resto and they were able to get a bolt of "real" comfortweave (black I think) and had a shop make new seat covers. Comfortweave holds up very well, mine is original. At least this is one interior piece you could possibly get as "OEM" if you have a standard interior. Do a search and it may come up.
None of the new seat covers have true comfortweave from what I've read here on the forum.
