I own a like new 1980 White LS and need a source for salvaged parts. The chrome cap that covers the upper arm rest attachment has cracked and I need to replace it. Anyone know of a good source for used parts in the US? I live in Montana so you know there are almost no 1st generation parts up here! For that matter almost no 1st generation cars on our roads. Any help would be appreciated!

All 80 rx7s used those and they ridiculously hard to find there are several people on here looking for those, myself included.

A few years ago there was a couple places that specialized in recycled RX-7 parts. Both have since dried up and went away. Your pretty much left with placing want ads here or searching ebay/craigs list for random listings or contacting people who are parting out cars. One member here has cast his own and there was a small window where he made some extra ones available for those who wanted em. I'll leave it to him to volunteer that service.

These trim caps are a 1980 year ony parts and are hard to find. I'd jump on them when you can. If possibile, post some pics of your car. LS's are special model 7's and are popular **** here. Lots of hard to find, special parts on Leather Sports.

I ended up making replacements the last time I needed some.

I had hopes of being able to make them and sell them to others who needed them, but I was never able to find a RELIABLE vendor for plating / finishing plastic. Tried two different places; one set turned out only-kinda-ok, the other turned out very nice but took months of endless nagging to get them back to me, and both cost way too much money.

Thanks to all for your responses. One of the members had one and I ordered it from him. Thanks again!
