Hey all that requested parts...still looking for some of you all's stuff!! Here is a list of all that I have come up with still need to find!!

Future X 2001-The only gold front emblem I have is missing the little screw holes to screw it into the grill...can be applied with 3M double stick tape...no plastic cd changer garnish!!


Veloci-The driver's window switch you requested is a big thing for people to buy!!! I unfortunately am also in need of one of these...only on a coupe (never gonna find it)!! I will continue to look for one for you!! By the way the switches are removable from the garnish, trim, housing, whatver it's called!!

Bang&Olufsen DK-I found a grill only all the screw point had been broken off!! It was in perfect condition too!! Will continue to look!

Kurizma-All of the drivers seats in these cars are mostly worn like almost all of ours are!! The armrest is a rare find as all of the cars I've delbt with are all pre cup holder! However I was able to locate those emblems for you!! I have them ready to ship!!


Thai. 95 LCoupe-The only woodgrain center console I found was cracked all over from someone throwing the door pannel on it!! Will continue to look!

WhiteLegend-The headlights were no where to be found on these cars as all of them had front end damage!! Will continue to look!

Octane-The keyless entry system I have does not have a remote...although I have to find out from the dealer if it is programable or not!! There is a remote selling on e-bay right now for like 20 bucks or so...have yet to find another one...will continue to look!

Train-Again with the headlights...all were missing as the cars were all smashed from the front!! Will continue to look!

DrEemArgUy-The chrome door garnish you were talking about is available off of one of the cars!! I just have to go pull it off...can you tell me how I can do this? Can I just pull it off or is there a special way of doing it? Will try to get this as soon as possible!

LeGenDz-The center mirror visor is also available all I have to do is go remove it!! There unfortunately are no CD changers!! Will continue to look!!

pjslegend-I can only help you with the inner door handle as the coupes are a rare find here...there are two available, my old one and one at the junk yard that has a pretty scratched chrome handle...both work and come without buttons...memory seats and lock knob! Both are brown in color.

I hope this helps anyone who needs parts...I again as I said earlier will continue to look for all of your parts...money is also an issue right now as I just got all my bills in the mail!! Will keep hopping junk yards and seeing what I can find. This one junk yard has given me a lot of luck, only the guys prices are a bit steep, but the parts are all in pretty good shape!! If anyone can think of anything else drop me a line!!

hey Goldencoupe thanks for all your help. I figured most totalled cars are totalled in the front end.

How about sedan lights, if you ever go back there again, let me know

Thanks ahead of time GoldenCoupe.

The chrome door garnish is fasten onto the car body by one little screw, and plastic clip behind it. The screw can be seen once the driver door is open. It's midway by the windshield. Once you get the screw off, you can carefully fry it from the car body from the front and walk it off from there on. All i need is the front driver piece, thanks a lot for your time.

I hope that i have explain it to a point where you can understand, sorry if there's any confusion. You can contact me at DrEemAr [email protected] about how much it's going to run me for this piece.

There is a passenger visor I could pull off...don't quite remember what shape it is in, but I'd assume pretty good shape!! It is tan in color. The chrome garnish will be removed from the junker when I go back to the Junk Yard...hopefully tomorrow!! As far as sedan ligths...I'm not quite sure what you mean? All of these parts have come from sedans...because it seems that's all I can find overhere!! :(

Future X - Looking for a Changer garnish? What part is this? I have the plastic trim part goes around the changer. Is this the part your talking about? If so I will trade it for a pocket replacement. PM me.

Thanks for the effort. I was able to locate a headlight assembly from a yard in So Cal. I'm gonna pick it up tomorrow morning. The yard I contacted had actually just received the Legend 20 minutes before my call with an intact front end. This was after calling at least 30 other places with no luck. But you're right, most cars at wrecking yards are going to have front end damage, so getting an intact headlight is a rare find.

The yard's holding the part for me through the weekend. I'll take a look at the rest of the car (it's a sedan) while I'm there Monday morning and see what's available. Those of you in the Orange County area may be interested.

It seems to be like a whole "TIN" where the OEM changer goes in the Sedan Trunk. Mine does not have this =(

I don't have any replacements, would you be willing to sell it?

Thanks for all the work GoldenCoupe!, I sent you a PM. The gold color on that looks darker than mine, but maybe that's just a camera effect? Did this come off a front grille, or the rear?

I have a 94GS, the grille is different, not sure if the size/gold color of the "A" on it different than the rest, does anyone know?

a couple of things i wanted to let people know here:

future x - the front grill i am pretty sure is interchangeable - i swapped my front grill trim from my gs with another person's ls sedan that was 2 years older, and it fit just fine. i don't think you will have any problems with that grill.

the ac swerver (and future x) - i am actually looking for one of those bins as well, and wanted to let you know that you can't just buy the bin... i i am pretty sure that in addition to the bin itself you need the bracket that mounts it to the car. just like for the oem cd changers; they have 2 sets of mounting brackets (and of course, the sedan version is different than the coupe version): there is a large mounting bracket that bolts to the floor of the trunk of the car, and then a smaller set of metal brackets that screw the changer into the bigger mounting bracket. i believe there the equivalent of the large mounting bracket for the plastic pocket - this is what those little clips at the bottom of the pocket clip into.

good luck all, and golden coupe - you are a great guy offering this service for everyone else.
