In Pinellas county, coming back from overseas

Greetings fellow 'balt owners! I'm finally living back in the US after living 4 years overseas. My car is still on the boat coming over, and needless to say I look forward to coming back.

After 3 of the 4 years of driving it overseas (1st year was in US) all of my trim pieces on the body need to be replaced for one reason or another. So, with that said, I'm leaning towards going to the dealer or maybe a junkyard and staying stock as I have a wife and child to support. OR, I'm thinking that since they need to be replaced anyway of going ahead and replacing them with something subtle.

If you're in the Tampa bay area, where would you suggest to go for aftermarket body parts? Was thinking of some place called KQ that my bro in law goes to for stock (refurbished) parts. Any recommendations?

Thanks!

Looz

Hmm... I don't really know any places that would deal with aftermarket kits (but I live in Hillsborough County).

I work in Hillsboro county, and am familiar with it as I lived here from April 2001 - October 2004. What were you thinking?

Let's try and keep this thread on track folks! LOL I know it's exciting to get some Pinellas action though!

I was thinking KQ and I'm not sure where they are physically located, but I hear they can get you just about any factory part for a fraction of the cost.

As for a meet, I'd be game! Central Pinellas, say Clearwater good? I currently live in Largo, but will be moving to St Pete real soon.
