What oddball parts do you wish were available?
First, this is NOT a sale or request thread, don't ask!
It's intent is to determine what parts have people looked for or desire to be more available. From major to minor, coupe, roadster, SRT, doesn't matter, what is important to you? 99% of the yards won't even attempt to pull a non major component, it is too expensive for them, so what have you found difficult to find? Not talking about collectables, but actual parts. Also, please no discussion on what Chrysler should or should not have done. If your reading this, you had to look for something at some point, so take a minute and make a post! |

OEM Crossfire security cover for coupe.
I think a good imitatation can be made from the Magnum cover. I started a thread once. I got my OEM cover but everyone slowly lost interest, so I did as well.:rolleyes: Caps for the windshield wiper posts Available at Chrysler dealers, $5. They are used by other car makers, that's why they are stolen. A replacement cap for the oil filter housing Available on eBay for $50 with filter installed and stem with O-rings or just the cap for $25. Oil Filter Cap Mercedes Benz SLK320 C220 C230 C280 C36 | eBay Lenses (only) for the license plate lights I did a drawing once, not OEM but keeps them dry. The "special" tool I have made a drawing of it as well. Both drawings are on the forum and in my albums. |

Door pulls are huge... not separately serviceable from the door panel, but most are suffering from the razor-sharp flashing on the back.
My Limited had a rough passenger pull... my SRT has a raspy driver's side pull. Not sure how we could retro-engineer these, but maybe we could rip them out of the worthless "gray two-tone" door panels and refinish them? :p I keed, I keeeed.... |

2004 auto dimming rear viewmirror.
it's out there, i know. but only for $200 on ebay. i really need a replacement and refuse to go anything but OEM (call me crazy, i know). i keep thinking a salvage car will pop up but none are 2004. It's not so much that it's not AVAILABLE, just not practically available. :/ |

This inner part is lightly glued in position and may have a retainer at the back as well. You could take one of the old car quite easily by removing the door panel. Both of them on my NA were as smooth as a baby's bum. |

I would like to see a reasonable price for a copy of the Startech front and rear spoilers.

Headlight covers. George Laurie has made awesome plastic parts for thousands of happy motorists. Somebody should contact him about reproducing. He says over and over "all I need is a perfect sample".

I used that aluminum furnace tape to cover up the peeling finish on the back of the handle, it was quite sharp. You can't see it from the front.

The round rubber caps on the back of the headlights (2/side).
My Chrysler dealer says they are not sold seperately from the headlight assembly. :confused: |
