I have 2 places for you to try:
SMC Performance in Auburn Hills (of all places)....
Shaun Carter (he goes by Valvegod on some forums)
2142 Pontiac Rd. #204
Auburn Hills, MI
(248) 276-0483

He's off of Opdyke, north of University. I'm not sure if he'll have the stuff that you're looking for, but it's a start.

Schram Auto Parts
2549 Dixie Highway
Waterford MI
(800) 462-9292

I haven't dealt with them but a friend of mine has an AIX Z28 racecar and gets parts from them.

You might also try the C5 Parts for Sale/Wanted over on Corvette Forum. Pretty active trading / selling going on there and you frequently find folks parting out cars.

Hope this helps! :cheers:

www.corvetteforum.com, parts for sale section. "karshop" is the man his website is www.geneskarshop.com I've bought a ton of stuff from him, he is probably the best known person on that board or try www.vette2vette.com I've bought from them also and never had any problems with either. But, try Gene first.
