Cowl Panels

So my cowl panels are in bad shape, especially my passenger side which is practically disintegrating. I've been looking around on the internet and new ones are really expensive, anyone know where I could find cheap replacements?

Typical for the one above the battery. Good luck finding a cheap one. Any used ones get swooped up pretty fast as a lot of people's are in bad shape.

Try your local u-pull it's or other Z websites with classifieds sections. Maybe E-bay. Other than that, pretty much have to bite the bullet and buy a new one. Good luck

Found this one for $65, not too bad.

Ionic dynamics is pretty reputable for having good products. I forgot they were making them now. Looks like a good deal. If you get one new one get the other one, it will look pretty bad with one new one and one used one, they wont' match...

Just note, once you start this process, you will find yourself wanting to replace other exterior trims that are fading and don't match your new stuff, at least I did.

Yeah, I second that. I got their passenger side one because mine was cracked. It looks pretty good right out of the box and it fits into place well. I didn't even paint it or anything. The old one is faded though and I'm considering either buying one or painting both of them. No complaints as far as how well it works though and it was the cheapest new one I could find.

I have a cowl kit on order from Concept Z Performance. It has both cowls, all the clips and seals. Yes, it's expensive but I am hesitant to get used because they are going to be brittle.
