I remember that post. If I'm correct, not very often, I think they were at Lowe's or Home Depot.
Good luck.

Mid America sells a Chrome Underhood Button Kit for $30. Part #654-009. Or go to a hardware store and buy stainless/chrome sink faucet plugs. Me, I cheaped out. Wrapped mine in chrome tape that I had lying around.

Lowes...

Just pull your black plastic ones out and slide these overtop, bend over the tabs and re-insert....

Much cheaper that any others....

I trimmed about 1/32 all the way around and then folded over the tabs. I also used the ones from Lowe's about $1.15 each.
