aha...I do remember 8 tracks...actually, I am playing some of my old cassettes that are metal tape (best dynamic range)...in the C5 they sound great because the road noise hides some of the tape noise. I have a great sub in the rear and they sound quite good. I hate the rewinding though!

I've had them for a couple years...don't pay $80...mine cost me around $55. Never could see changing out just the big *****...
This is another example of our forum vendors missing the boat on an item that would sell well. When I first posted the pics not one vendor contacted me about where I got them....
Not the best picture, but you can see the "completeness" of having those 4 little ***** in the set.

ok, I found a pic with better appearance of the chrome...I'll keep looking for others...I know I took a lot of photos when I did that interior makeover a few years ago.....
Just found a few more....these should give you a better idea of the continuity of it all....
If I find time I will transfer them over to the tape player and standard HVAC unit that are black with no red hydrocarbon finish to show them on the stock pieces.....

That would be REALLY Helpful.
Thanks

The $30 sets do not have all 9 *****. I have search the auction site high and low and all that is there is the FULL 9 piece set for $83 + $5ship = $88 total. If you are seeing something that I am not, then PM me.

If I can find them for $55 as $$$frumnuttin above claims he paid for the full 9 Piece set in his pic, then I am in for $55...... $88 is just too much IMO.
Still waiting for a reply as to where $$$frumnuttin got them for $55

Slightly OT, but some vender on here could also make an absolute killing by making billet door handles for the interior of the car. Those plastic loops really need to go. I'm thinking of using the rapid prototype machine at my brother's engineering company to make myself a couple if I can get him to book me some time on it.
