I try to go with OEM parts for my stock '01. Rock Auto has been a good source for me. They have a bunch of choices for each part, from the cheapest to the most expensive.

I started up a soft start-up of the business last Monday to test systems, logistics, customer service, etc. There will be a formal announcement made some time in the near future.

Gene,
I need to replace the Passenger Side Power Seat Adjuster Switch and Bezel on a 2002. They are black. I'm assuming there is not a way to fix the switch, bolster inflates, but does not deflate. The Bezel is broken. Thanks for any assistance you can provide.

So you're looking for the passenger switch and panel? That's not a problem. Please send me your VIN to gene@cultragperformance.com and I'll get you taken care of.
