I'm looking for the inner quarter plastic trim panels in white for my '69 Dart Convertible. I have a decent set in black. I'm willing to make a trade or buy. I could dye mine as a last resort. Central New Jersey. PM me.

You might wanna also post this in the Convertible Forum for better exposure.
Why dont you just dye/paint em and be done with it. Even if you find some used white ones... they are prob gonna be either faded or cracked/etc. Tough to find good used white ones and the repops are $$$.
I decided to paint mine- got one side done and it looks good. Used the white pearl paint- not crazy about it and redid w/plain white. Just cleaned em, used an adhesion promoter and used some white vinyl paint. Will do for now- but when I get my new interior gonna have to get some paint mixed to better match the white seats. May try to mix some bright white with antique and see how it looks.
 
You DON'T want the repro panels. A friend bought some for his car and I had to make them work as best I could. I did take pics if anyone ever wants to see how bad they really are.

I didn't think to take pics at the time I was working on the car (and I no longer own it) but I redid the panels on my '68 B'cuda 'vert when I changed the interior from black to white. I kept the top part black but painted the textured part white. Since my new seat covers and door panels were pearl white I wanted to try to match them as close as I could.

All of the originals I have seen were a shade of white that didn't really match the rest of the interior, maybe when new, but I doubt it.

Anyway I first painted them solid bright white for coverage. I then went over that with a couple of light coats of a white pearl midcoat I had on the shelf. I had some old fashioned white pearl in a little jar like they used years ago on custom jobs so I added some of that to the midcoat pearl also and some to the clear coat.

I used light coats so the thickness wasn't as great as it sounds. I thought they turned out really good, and they matched the upholstery.

Below is the only pic I have of the interior and you can just see the bit that wraps around the pinchweld.
