If you're just looking for a sail panel, I would check out 6LITEREATER. They're having a 20% off sale that ends tomorrow at midnight.
They have both carbon fiber and fiberglass.

Usually you can find stuff off loop 12 & jefferson @ awesome or there is a GM place but doesn't let you pick yourself. Robbie has a lot of stuff but he told me he is getting out of the business so he could have a limited selection available.

there is a U-pull-it 1 mile west on Jefferson from loop 12. I was out there a week ago. Most of the cars out there had all of their body panels. They have both Camaro and TA's.

You can't fix the sail panel it's has been tried by everyone under the sun and the bubble still come back. "I have tired too… thinking I might get this to work" NOPE it didn't!!!
If you do a search in the paint and body section you will find a lot of info on this.
Also hahahah have fun taken one off without damaging it ... bring some piano wire with you and take your time. If the car's 2000 and above walk away the glue is what causes the damage.

Yeah I have read all about it and know the headaches that can ensue, however mine is getting so bad that I need to replace it. That is really the reason I am looking for one at a pick and pull. If I damage it oh well, if it isnt perfect thats fine cause I'll be sanding it down and repainting it. There is a great write up in the paint and body section that details it out that I plan on following.

I've bought several thousands of dollars worth of stuff from him in the last several years.Last time I stopped by at his shop a couple of months ago he still had a whole lot of stuff there, though.

Just went to dallas.craigslist.org and then searched for "parting camaro" and there are a few people there, try calling them and maybe asking if you can go try and pull off the panel.

Did some search and got the best solution. Go to a junk yard, check the door and make sure its an older fbody. Then ask the junk yard to cut the roof off or cut around and through the roof not touching the sail panel. I would assume it would only cost $50-$100 depending on their willingness to do so. Take the part home and heat up the under side of the panel with a heat gun and then use the wire to separate it and that would cut through like butter.
Rip your old one off and get the other one ready. Mine is bubbling pretty bad so think I will do this as well. Not sure how many ttop cars are in the yards though.

I am 100% positive Awesome Auto Salvage on Jefferson would cut the top off an Fbody for you lol. Most of the cars there are gutted and isn't much left before they go to the crusher. Hell that guy use to sell me 4.8/5.3 (LS based) pull outs for $250 each.
I know the thread I found on tech, the guy got a yard to cut the roof off.
