Default Plastic Interior Parts?

O.K. With the new seat belts on order and the pending order of the
carpet, wall kit, and seat covers, the last 2 items are the headliner
and the window surround plastic. The headliner is in good shape with
only a slight variation in the color here and there. I will do the "Kiwi
shoe polish trick" for that. Last part (aside from painting the seat
frames) is the plastic. Yes, I already looked at Plane Plastics and
Vantage. Totally, absolutely, criminally outrageous pricing. Ten buck
parts selling for two hundred dollars. Even with the "airplane"
surcharge, an entire Piper remake should only cost about $200. There
ain't any certification, tracking, insurance, or other "excuse" for
these prices.

Any other suppliers out there that are not smoking crack? If not, I will
take them out, repair the one or 2 cracks, paint them, and put 'em back
in. 5 hours labor, 1 $4 can of white plastic spray paint, a dab of
epoxy, and a couple dozen new chrome #6 screws and finishing washers.
Even if I price my time at $100/hour, it is still WAY less expensive
than what these pirates want.

Thanks,
Mike
