I know almost nothing about carb swaps. Is there anything besides the poorer fuel economy that make carbs a bad choice? Does it mess anything up in the car? Make something not work (like the tach)?Originally Posted by sdg3205

It looks as though the center console change trays cannot be purchased either.

The transmission fluid change thread reminded me there is one of the misc seals for installing the shift computer connections that is NLA. You reuse the one you have (the seal that is).
There is someone out there that has steering column canopies now, right? Weren't those NLA for a while? The upper and lower plastic halves that is.
Were the rear interior panels mentioned already? Of the colour/armrest style combinations for both driver and passenger sides, I don't think replacements for all of those are available either.
The carpet piece that covers the base of the parking brake level... I think we're SOL on those as well.
Battery straps?

That and they have a tendency to turn you into an online douche once you have it installed.

There was someone selling an electronic WUR a few years back. Not sure if that is still available but the price of $500 did not create much interest with the D.

I believe Wilmed played around with one but did not have much luck with it.

What does this mean? Are we talking about a member here? Or someone who is no longer a member and can't defend him or herself? Or are you saying I'm a douche?

Don't forget about the steering column black upper and lower covers that screw together. They cover the ignition switch if I recall correctly.

Actual snippet of a conversation from Sept 2013:
Me: Eddie, I can't wait to get the car back when you're done with it.
Eddie: Yeah, you'll be able to give the car gas, and it won't be - like - embarrassing....

I believe he is referring to Bill Robertson. I actually really like Bill and don't find him to be a douche at all.
