Where did you get your filler? Cost? I could be renewing the cost wrong. Was thinking it was $250 or something plus shipping
I got it off a dealer that was on eBay, just like the dash. But IIRC it was about $300 shipped. I remember because the dash I bought for $400-450 shipped and that filler piece just had a broken corner from when I removed it so I tried to fix it which actually worked great until I tried to snap it into place and almost all the clip mounts broke, the areas where the clips hold onto. It was too brittle. So then I went to buy that filler thinking $100, maybe $150 and it was more like $300. Pissed me off. :mad:

I'm not a huge fan of aftermarket but I think I may give that a whirl when I get back from vacation. Thanks for the link!
I don't like Dorman much at all but there's a few things of theirs that I'd run. For me to buy Dorman it has to be something that isn't safety related, has to be replaced easily if it fails quickly, and has to offer a decent savings. That part passes my 3 criteria. I doubt it's made from any worse plastic than the GM one, and if it fits like crap Amazon has an awesome return policy. I added it to my Amazon list so if I ever need another one I'll know where to get it.

I saw one for $58 with free shipping, but it's unbranded.

Awesome. Please come back here and follow up on the fit and finish.
Will do. Says it has 30 day free returns so I figured, why not.

I saw that too. Dorman is where I draw the line in the Chinese parts department lol.
