I need these parts since I'm gonna rebuild the engine. I figured might as well make the car pretty as well.

Yeah everything but the passenger side lower window molding is going to be next to impossible to find new.
Your best bet would be to find used pieces in as good of shape as possible.

As well as the drip molding (the trim above the window), the wiper cowl, and pretty much every other body part that needs replacing on these cars.
The windshield molding you can find on eBay as well as some of the other discontinued parts if you're real lucky and willing to pay a premium for them.
A few companies make carbon fiber replacement wiper cowl panels. I have one.
 
I don't know anything about 2g DSMs, but like the other fellas said, probably all discontinued parts. Your best bet for replacements is checking Craigslist part-outs, some of this site's vendors, or the classifieds on this website.

But honestly, most of those parts you took photos of look like they can be refurbished at home with some Plastdip, commercial grade automobile specific adhesive, and a little elbow grease. I saved most of the garnish, weatherstripping, and trim pieces on my Talon using these methods.
 
the drip molding above the window just take it off, strip the plastic coating, scotch bright the metal, and paint it with some flat black. it will look better than new and be more durable than the OEM plastic coating. (actually even the brushed metal when you are done with the scotch bright will l ook nice, depends on what color the car is i think.)

and the molding under the windshield a glass shop can replace. they put new stuff on mine when i had a new windshield put in.

I have heard people complaining about a whistling noise after doing that. Not sure how true that is...

On mine I stripped it and used plastidip. Zero issues and it's been ~5-6 years now. Still looks great!
