Default Need a replacement Windshield lower finishing panel

I'm looking for a reasonably priced lower windshield finisher and a left rear bumper trim corner.

Anyone tried 3D printing one? Probably could sell some if you could pull it off.

Brian in San Antonio

i have both A pillar finishers and the cowl from Malaysia. i like the way they look and fit.

i especially like how the windshield cowl doesn't form a crack if i look at it wrong.

They say on their web page that the "Plenum/air intake area has been sealed" can you explain what they did here. Does the AC still work in both Fresh air and recirculate modes?

it does. i have had the Malaysian cowl for some time and noticed no difference before and after with the AC. still blows cold.

edit: if you're worried about air flow you can always drill a few holes in the sealed area.

I have a factory used cowl. No cracks, no missing hooks.
