I bought 2 at VetteNuts for $8.45 with free shipping. Looked and fit just like the originals.

I agree - great door panel clips. Thicker than the standard replacements.
Plus, for a couple of dollars extra you can get either "Corvette" or custom text. I was inspired by a set that Mark had for Grape Ape, so when I ordered them, I had "Route99" done on mine.

If all else fails and none of the above have them in stock, just check with your local Chevy dealer - they should be able to get them for you.

The main reason that I decided on the Corvette clips instead of the cheaper alternatives (GM and Ebay) was the warranty; I had already replaced the clips once with a pair of genuine GM pieces, and they broke within six months of the install(!)
It seems that the combination of thinner plastic and pretty significant pressure on the tabs to stay in place wreaks havoc on these lesser priced clips.
As Route99 mentioned, these are a substantially thicker material and can also be custom engraved. I'm grateful we still have options for things like this for our 20-year old cars
