Replacement Interior Parts - Where to get?

I want to replace a couple of plastic interior trim pieces on my 2001 GT: the piece that surrounds the radio, centermost A/C vents, and three switches; and the armrest area on the passenger side door. Does anyone know where I can get these? Can the dealer provide them? I tried Dave's Mustang Parts (in New Mexico) but they have not called me back. I have also been looking in the StangNet classified area but have not found anything. I guess I am a little obsessive/compulsive about interior appearance... there does not seem to be much of a marketplace for OEM interior pieces.

www.50resto.com carries all the parts you are asking about.

Thanks, they did have the armrest piece and it was only $29. As far as I can tell, they only have the other piece (the one by the radio) for '94-'98 models. Oh well...

One other website that should have the pieces is www.fordpartsnetwork.com their prices aren't the cheapest but they tend to have most of the parts, the navigation is a bit confusing, but they should have all the parts. Hope that helps.

Yup, that is a very useful site. Thanks a bunch. I think they have what I need... but the only colors they stock are (supposedly) "black" and "parchment." I would not exactly describe the color of this part as "black." But I also believe there may only be two colors for this piece for 2001 models, dark and light. Can anyone confirm this? If so, maybe this is what I need. There does seem to be a slot on the site for a "charcoal" version, but it is not filled in for 2001.

The part number online is 3R3Z 6304338 BAB. Strangely enough, there seems to be a part number on my car, and it is 1R3X 6304302 ADW. But there is probably some difference in what's included (full assembly with vents vs. a less comprehensive piece). Ford part numbers confuse the he11 out of me... I have seen cases where the middle piece would be rendered as 06304338 instead of just 6304338, for example.

Any ideas? I will probably order 3R3Z 6304338 BAB and see what I get. I did put in a pretty detailed part request and that's what the person that responded suggested.
