Not to my knowledge. Your best chance might be a swap meet or ebay. Good luck with the hunt.

Is this the circular bezel that snaps around the outside of the push button? If so Corvette Central had them late last year. I bought 2 from them.

Chris, 100% sure they are repro'd, about $50 per set. now, i'm not sure who sells them, but I think Corvette Central does. I know they are made as the resto guy put them on my car. also, i picked up a spare set on ebay for $40 last year, originals.......

Are you still looking? I have an original set. I need to take another look at them, but I think they are nice.
