No dealer in the country shows stocking this on the GM located. Chances are GM parts direct can order you one like any other dealer but they do not have in stock. All the plates are going straight to Bowling Green before GM is putting them in stock at their parts warehouses.

Bowling Green is running daily and weekend OT so the supplier more than likely is unwilling to work Sunday's to fill orders for SPO. If I had to guess. They'll probably come to SPO in slugs when BG cuts schedule for deer hunting season and/or Christmas. Till then

Tunnel plate
Got mine from Fred Bean last week. $60.00 shipped. They are availible, just not in stock. Took about two weeks to get mine. I sanded it and spray painted the bottom side with silver hi-temp paint to further reduce the heat transfer.
