Default Interior changes and fixes

So after fixing my HUD I noticed a few of the covers and certain plastic parts are broken which putting things back together was rather less than perfect. I am going to do some research and use Google but in the meantime I figured why not make a post and get some info from the community. I want to change my interior to black and red with the exterior being blue. Where is a good place to replace discontinued covers and plastic parts for the dash and see if I can make them red? Example would be the cover under the stirring wheel.... I hope this describes what I am talking about but if not let me know I can elaborate more.

I know that GM stopped producing the multi-color mod/torch red, gray, oak and shale door panels and other trim components. Anything you find will have to be in stock and cannot be ordered. I believe GM is still producing these parts in black, so perhaps you can go through one of the GM parts vendors and then plan to either paint or dye the components to match your planned color scheme.

Good luck and keep us updated on your progress!

Well I would take the stock replacements but they discontinued one of the main parts I need which is the cover right under the steering wheel.
