I own a 68 and am wondering if anyone might be willing to share websites and/or company names of companies selling camaro parts and accessories. I know theres several aftermarket parts companies but usually their parts don't fit as original oem. Any help would be appreciated.
Mahalo in advance,
Jose

Jose, go back to this page: http://www.camaros.net/forums/
and look at all the sponsors on the right hand side. That is a good start! Ebay is full of stuff from many Camaro parts retailers. There are probably twice as many listings on there from retailers as there are people who are just cleaning out their basements and garages.

Hey guys, thanks for the replies.
Ted:
I want to dress up my interior including replacing original torn/damaged items, repair/replace some trim. Also want to replace my current grill with an RS Hideway grill (hoping to get entire kit). I want to purchase parts that will fit...good parts...not the cheap China/Taiwan junk...I want to buy American. Although I have some names, I felt by asking in this forum, I might get some really great leads on great companies that are good to work with in addition to your sponsors.
Mark: I'll check out ebay...just kinda hesistant due to negative feedback from some that have purchased products on ebay. Looking for reputable companies that sell good stuff...not the imitation.
Gentlemen, thank you very much for your help and assistance.
Aloha,
Jose

Ya, I hear you, Jose...a lot of the repros just don't cut it.
There are a few places that still have NOS stuff kicking around... but you will pay for it, as evidenced by the Ebay, where some pieces go astro, eh?
There's a place in E Aurora, Camaro Specialties that used to have a bit... some in D&R, and of course the "Mecca", HBC...where you need deep deep pockets.
You might want to contact some of the larger Camaro clubs, as they have fingers out there where you don't.
There's still some parts to be had north of the border, and a few come up occasionally... try the "kijiji" site, the counterpart to your Craig.
Camaro.ca ever so often has the odd part coming up, as well in "Hemmings".
So they're out there... ya just got be there at the right time with the right $.
Good luck on your quest.
