Why don't you just cut out the one you have?

Because I just wanted to keep the original lid to myself for the day I :cry sell her(only to upgrade to a newer or better Vette :D ) I wanna be able to leave it to the next person in stock form if that's what they want. I'm just pathetic like that.

So cut the one you got, then go junkyard hunting for an unmolested stocker.

Almost all the places that sell them will be around 50 bucks...its just not worth it. Cut it yourself...and do like the others say and find one at a junk yard or maybe another member will sell the stock one for cheap.

buy a new stocker, and cut yours and save the $$ difference, or go to a junkyard and find one
