Replacing interior door trim
One day I was cleaning the interior and for some reason, it stained the black plastic. I've tried everything to get rid of it, always comes back. Have had no issues since so I'm not sure what happened.
The piece is the one here (passenger side if it matters):

Where would I go about replacing this piece? Does anyone online sell it? Thanks,

There are several cars being parted out on a regular basis here. I would get the piece from one of them. Just make sure you have them inspect it well after removal. That plastic is easy to flex and discolor or damage.

Here's the part number 25979706.
I was changing out my interior to black and bought one door sill plate used on ebay. Sometimes the savings aren't worth it. One of the tabs was broken. I ended up buying a new one from one of the gm parts sites. The price wasn't that much more and the piece looked much better new.

Find a part that's the same material and color but easily removable (the covers over the bolts holding the seats to the floor come to mind), take it in to the paint department at Home Depot and have them color scan it and make you up a little sample jar of primerless matte paint. Then mask the sill plate, scuff with a scotch brite pad, clean with isopropyl and brush paint it.
I and lots of people on Rennlist have done that to touch up the interiors of our late-model 911's (Porsche used "soft touch" paint that deteriorates with age). I was amazed at how well it blended in.
Anyway the paint and supplies will cost you around $10 so there isn't much to lose.

Interior dye works very well as well. Just buy a good quality one from one of the Vette suppliers. I freshened every panel in my 1978 and holds up very well. I even dyed my steering wheel leather as a test, and it held up for years like new. It was pretty amazing really. It is very hard to make it sag, etc. My body man told me it is just thinned out paint that dries quickly and conforms properly.
