Inside Door latch trim and fuel pump

Whats a good place to get plastic inside door latch trim?

Is there a a low cost dealer for fuel pumps, I see some for $50-$60. I would not mind getting one a little cheaper.

most latch trim is still availabel from the dealer for less than $10 per side. you can also check www.mazdatrix.com and see if they still offer any trim, which i believe they do.

remember, you get what you pay for. you pay cheap, you get cheap. i would not go with a universal fuel pump and struggle trying to mount it and make it work. spend the money and buy a direct replacement pump. at $50-$60, thats still a really good deal if its a direct replacement. or go and buy a used pump form someone here on the forum by posting a want to buy ad in the parts wanted section.

I'm going to hold off on the trim The fuel pump is another story. When I drive around for a while the engine starts starving for gas. While I'm still rolling, I turn off the engine and turn ignition on while I coast. after about 3 seconds. I drop it into 4th and restart the engine and Off I go. I'm not sure if its the pump or the pump relay I've been reading about.. any idea's? SC
