Corvette Central is another place to try. Are the parts damaged, or do you just want them replaced? Mine had the flat black paint peeling off, so I just took some real fine stainless steel pads and took it off. They polish up real nice.

I lost the upper trim on my windshield once, had to get it from a vette junkyard, piece was expensive but at least found one in good shape. I would try and refurbish what you can and replace what you have to.

Mine is too, and most of the other late C3's I see have that problem.

If you can't locate an acceptable replacement piece, you can always get the one you have repaired- but that's probably expensive. Based on a couple of episodes of "Dream Car Garage" Legendary Motorcar in Milton. ON can repair trim to "as new" condition.
