I just got one for my car from Vette2Vette (Corvette Salvage Yard). I've never seen one on ebay. You might also try posting a thread here on the forum on the C4 parts section.

Some different looks...
These are LT5 plenums, but still ya get some ideas...
This one was sanded down w/ 400 grit, primed and sprayed with Dupli-Color silver wheel paint, and then a few coats of clear. It has a subtle metalic look - very nice.
Of course powder coating is popular too. Here is one in red that I especially like. Note the two-tone paint and sanded top...Sharp!
Silver powder coating seems to be the fave, but the red really turned out nice, methinks.
And, I've posted this recently - a fellow Brother of the Beast has this polished LT5 (I copped as my avitar, btw) that is absolutely stunning - especially in the sunlight on a clear day (usually seen w/ a bunch a Hooter's girls posing with it
)
I've seen gloss black, Canary yellow, lime, and various two-tone combos. Letcher imagination run wild, I say!

Those are some great looking motors. Shows me how far I've to go.
Thanks for all the ideas. Think I'll try polish .... if that dosen't work out for me I'll probibly go with powder coat. I like the chrome or polished alum. for mine. It's a silver 85. Do appreciat the idea of the flower to remove excess polish in the holes. Great stuff here fellas. Thanks again
