Default where to get some replacement parts?

just trying to figure out where i can get some replacements for some broken parts on my camaro.

first, i need the passenger's side seatbelt guide, the little plastic part that mounts to the side of the seat that the seatbelt runs through. my interior is the tan (i think it's called "neutral") leather.

second, i need a stock battery retention box/platform/whatever the hell you wanna call it.....i went to have my battery replaced a while back and couldn't get the retention bolt loose to release the battery, and couldn't even wedge the battery out because it was still too tight....so i ended up having to just cut the bolt & part of the plastic that it threads down through in order to get the old battery out, and i need to get it replaced ASAP so my new battery isn't just sitting there loose.

last, i need the passenger's black side A-pillar trim that runs from the front/bottom of the A-pillar at the front of the windshield to the rear of the side window.....the plastic tabs that the little metal clips go on to hold it in place against the headliner/roof broke off, and it kinda hangs down a little, and it's getting really annoying to look at.

oh, and i'd love to figure out a way to tighten up the driver's side sun visor, so it doesn't swing freely and almost (and in some cases actually) hitting me in the face when i have it down and take a turn.
