Anyone ever buy the center console applique kit? http://www.oldbuickparts.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=98

i'm going to tell you my experience with old buick parts. i bought the carpet, and a power steering cap. the carpet was cheap and had the heel pad sticthed instead of sealed(they advertised sealed), and the power sterring cap only had half of a sticker for the lettering. so i returned it, and they charged me a big restocking fee. I told him since the product wasn't as advertised, that if he charged me a fee, we would have to end our relationship then and there, which he said was fine with him. if it had been what i ordered, i would have been happy. even though the products come in boxes that say gm restoration parts, i would be very leary to ever buy from them again. i give them a big thumbs down on quality and service.

Why not just order one from a supporting vendor like Kirbans?

1984 1985 1986 1987 Buick Regal Grand National Turbo T T-Type GNX APPLIQUE KIT FOR CONSOLE, 3 PIECES #1568

I don't think there are any NOS GM console appliques left only repos.

Beings I saw them for sale for 45 in the parts section I figured they were going for at least that much. I've bought from Kirban before. Turned out ok Just as well buy from him again!

Yes, buy the applique kit from Dennis. I got mine from him for $16.00 and it fit/matched perfectly. Just do a good job and clean the old plate up, remover all the sticky crap, get it squeaky clean. Then apply the applique. Mine now looks brand new. I got another set from Dennis to do another plate I have as a spare. He sells a great set, and a very nice low price. But, shipping applies also. Think it's around eight bucks. You won't regret the kit Dennis sells.

Wish someone did a repo that was closer to the original.
All the repop's has a brushed looking texture....I've tried the all.
