Your local Chevy dealer will be as cheap as any because of the expense of shipping something that big.

I got a kit from Car Motorsports that covers the orginal underhood insulator. You can order custom embroidery on it. I've had mine for serveral years & it still looks like new. Try www.carmotorsports.com...

Best price with shipping that I found was with Bob Wendorff @ Fichtner Chevrolet. They are a Forum vendor, and Bob is great to deal with. By the way, the part number for the hood pad is 10285631, the hood pad retainers are part number 30064875.

You can also try Gene at www.gmpartshouse.com. Not sure if he will be cheaper than the local dealer when you add in shipping.

Check with Rich at Advanced Design Coatings. He cover the insulators with a permanent coating....basically bullet proof. Far and away the most beautiful and user friendly, show quality.

just make sure to check them from the dealer. I have ordered some in for airbrushing and the logo is messed up with them.
Just have them reorder a new one for you
