Default 98 spare tire cover/hatch panel retainers

Anyone know of where I could get the retainer screws that hold the passenger side hatch panel/spare tire cover? I have found one place that appears to carry them, but didn't know if they were available anywhere else. Price seems a little high for what they are. I am guessing too that this is a discontinued part from GM?

Given the different interior colors, there's about eight different part numbers for this retainer. They're all discontinued. If you found them in your color, grab them.

This may be a part that Classic Industries has picked up. You might look at them.

My 98 has dark pewter interior per the build sheet. The ones I found are listed as dark grey.

I put into their search function a few parts I know are discontinued-none available.

Including the gray spare tire cover retainers I need, 16633386.

I only need one. I may get it (in black) from them and paint it-I've had decent results painting interior plastics with the right paints.

I love how GM got like three bucks for these things they probably paid like ten cents for-and Modern Muscle is getting $14 each.

Modern Day is the only place I found them, including the mentioned EBay listing. For bleepster, what you got are actually closer to black than what is in the picture and on their website? The pic looks as described as dark grey, which I was thinking would match my dark pewter interior. The $13 is what I was questioning, if there were others cheaper out there.

$13 is about as good as it gets, I paid $2X a piece from the chevy house
