Ya, the double hole bezel is hard to get. If one of the tabs broke off, you can fix it.

I glued it back together with exopy and it looks great.

Thanks...I'll look into repairing the one here and if that doesn't work, a used one. Now that Pontiac is gone, is getting parts going to be a problem? I never thought about that when I bought this TA. Also, this car replaced a 2001 C-5 triple black conv that I had to sell last year when times got tough.I liked the Vette's stance and want to put a bigger tire on the back to fill up the well. Any suggestions? It has stock 16" chrome 5 spoke wheels on it now. Mike

Getting new parts is getting more difficult because these 4th gens are too old, not because Pontiac folded up the tent.

Aftermarket and used parts will still be available forever (almost).
