With GM, They would be discontinued. Have you looked at ebay?
Thanks, Tom.
All the stuff on ebay is coming up as not the right stuff for my car. Not sure why as it looks right. And they dont list the measurement very well.
Thanks, Steve. It's my Ham Radio Call Sign. The FCC and Government made a deal so that we can use our call signs on our plates. The best part about it is a personalized plate can cost 50 bucks or more a year on top of the standard fees. At least that is what I was told. Mine only cost 2 bucks more a year.
And after I worked my way up the License class to the top (Extra) I put in for a Vanity call sign. K1ING is as close as I could get to my last name. :D
(Getting closer to what's been done)
After all the interior cleaning and shampooing, I had ordered some low-cost floormats. Being I'm a bit color blind I thought the interior of the car was gray. But I guess now I have found some things are gray and others are tan. Oh well. Doesn't make much difference to me. lol.
new Trim-to-fit floor mats including the cargo area...

The Fuel Cap Cover/Door was not secured. There is no Lock for it or release inside the cab that was damaged. What I found was the plastic clip that is inside the opening to the Fuel Cap was broken. The part on the door was fine so I ordered a new one. It was under 10 bucks and took 30 seconds to change...

I could tell that one of the headlight assemblies had been replaced as one looked new and the other had the dreaded foggy plastic look. It took about 15 minutes of buffing then 2 coats of protector spray and it now looks close to new...

When I opened the hood for the first time I found the big fat rubber seal that goes along the top of the firewall down between the engine and firewall. It was no big deal except it could have worked its way down a little farther and started melting to the exhaust. That would have been bad as it could have possibly caught fire. 15 seconds and it's clipped back in place...

I also found the Hood prop-rod laying over close to the drive belt. This was no good. Losing a belt going down the road, including what damage could have happened if the rod got twisted up in the belt. The plastic clip that holds the prop-rod secured was broken off completely. Less than 10 bucks again and 10 seconds and the rod is now secured...

The red arrow is where the clip should be.

Now, this next item is not extremely easy but I think most people could figure it out.
One of the two rear Licence plate lightbulbs was burned out. But to replace it I had to remove the inner door panel to get to them. Remember that when replacing bulbs that are in pairs, always replace them both. It's worth the extra money when you think you will have to do the labor twice. This goes for headlight bulbs too IMO.
Here are a few pics to get to the bulbs. I found replacements in my lightbulb stock. So no cost on this.
Panel

The only screws. As I said in an earlier post, Screws are normally found around the area of a door panel where you would grab the panel.
Attachment 340664
Weather/Noise barrier.
Attachment 340665
The panels interior where you can see all the clips that hold it in place on the door.
Attachment 340666
The barrier had two areas marked to cut out to get to the light bulb sockets. A quarter twist and they come out. Pull the bulb out and slip new ones in.

I had also found some yellow paint on the rear corner of the car. Someone had rubbed up against a yellow pole like at a fuel station. But not hard enough to dent the body. A little buffing then a coat of wax fixed it right up, Close enough. A little of the clear coat was taken off in the rubbing of the pole and a few scratches.

Is T cut available over here?
It is a rubbing/cutting compound that makes old paint look like new paint, unless you go crazy with the elbow grease and rub right through the paint of course. sort of very very fine abrasive paste especially for cars.
