Late Model Restoration Supply They have quite a bit of things that might help you out. Some stuff you will have to get from the dealer or another wrecked GT somewhere.

Im glad he is ok! do you guys have anything like a Pull-a-Part where you live? Its kinda like a junk yard where you go and just take parts off whatever car you need. I would look into that for some of those things.

seems like he even potentially totaled the car if both bags blew...

Umm..wow..a donut in a parking lot. So is he paying for all of the replacement parts? If he blew both airbags he must've hit it pretty darn hard. Damaged the Vert top?? How do you do that hitting post?

I'm starting to question whether he meant he was doing donuts or barrel rolls... cuz that's quite the list of damage.

yeah, I was thinking that too, although if he just tore the vert top I think a roll would destroy a vert top, not just rip it.
