If you are talking about the plastic peice on the left side , at the bottom of the dash, where the hood release is-- you are right they don't sell it.
You should contact a bone yard, where they "Part" Corvettes.
Alot of them on Ebay.

I use ebay quite often. Once your signed up you can make a proxy bid.
By that you put the highest you will pay for the item and if no one else bids you get it for the starting bid. If someone bids more than your proxy bid they get it.
There's not much demand for that item so you can probably get it for the starting bid amount.

If you can't find the part ANYWHERE else, then ANY bid is a good bid! (Oh the things we do for our passion!) :D

Thanks for the link, 85. I need the same part, but I'm not getting it just yet. I have the seller's page saved to my favorites now! :thumbs:
