Charles,
Other than cutting you own, which shouldn't be real hard if these are the
simple flat material I think they are, there are a couple of non-Nissan
possibilities. There are a couple of old BAP foreign places, one on the
north side of Northwest Hwy (across from the Gentleman's clubs) and the
other one, also on NW Hwy, but out east near the Honda place west of
Jupiter.
Being in Arlington, I get a lot of my non dealer stuff from Steve's
Foreign in Ft. Worth, on West Vickery west of University. Talk to Jim
Grimes up at Courtesy. Both Courtesy and Bankston (Irving and Preston)
give Z-club discounts, although Courtesy is a little more liberal as to
who. All of the parts folks there are great and Joe Flores, the service
manager, used to race roadsters and 510's. Now, if I could just get there
from here! <G>
HTH, Ron
