Default Center console part

Im not sure what its called but its the center plastic piece that goes around the shifter and up around the radio. I have an 05 and have that little oval piece that broke. Im trying to find it and cant. Its the little piece next to the traction control button.

The tombstone because of its shape. I don't know if you can buy that without getting the entire console.

The whole assembly is called the Radio Bezel (The Center Console is the thing with the lid that your arm rests on).

That 'oval piece' is called the 'tombstone' and looks like the picture below.



It might help to specify if you're looking for the whole radio bezel assembly or just the tombstone piece.

For any factory parts, I'd recommend sending a PM to RichieRichZ06, the service manager at Abel Chevrolet and a forum vendor. Good resource for factory parts. There are a few other vendors as well but Rich is my favorite to work with and a good guy.

Since your car is an '05, why not use this as a good excuse to do away with the entire ugly silver plastic bezel and replace it with a 2008+ version. I guarantee you that it would make your entire interior look and feel MUCH more upscale. Here's my '05 to give you an idea of what can be done:
