    I recall seeing somewhere you can buy stickers or decals to replace the icons that wear off on the heater controls and DIC, but I can't find anything.

    Anyone know where to look for them?

    I've been looking on eBay, haven't seen them yet either...

    I'm very much interested in finding these as well, or a place to get new buttons.

    New in a different color would be cool...

    Lol... BTW, I meant to ask, do you have any advice for the three plastic covers on the steering wheel? I'm sanding what's left of the old silver off, it's barely even holding on anymore and I need something to cover the plain gray plastic...

    Vinyl wrap or try and paint them again?

    I'd vinyl wrap them, something high traffic like that I imagine it'll be a ***** to keep the paint from coming off,

    Like it already has... Lol I could scratch it with my fingernail and off it would come.

    I need to sand down my HVAC control front panel and wrap it as well, all sorts of little white dots keep appearing, and a Sharpie just isn't cutting it anymore. Lol

    Yeah, I've only found replacements for the radio so far but I know someone mentioned getting them for the HVAC buttons before.

    Technically GM starts with whatever color buttons, they have the gray over and they laser engrave the words.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    I saw that, they also just do standard GM radios etc. Our DIC and probably HVAC are unique to our cars so not much luck in finding replacements so far.

    My dad owns a vinyl graphics shop... Might be worth convincing him to whip something up.

    ive regularly found replacement buttons for the DIC at the junkyard, im on my like 3rd set now. but damn those 5 buttons look practically new.

    I'd really like new button faces for the dual zone climate and heated seat section but i only once ever found another go with the dual zone in the junkyard and it didnt have the heated seats buttons.

    Next time im at the yard, ill grab all the DIC buttons i can find and ship em to you at a fair price. anything else you need? theres usually 1-2x04+ in my yard and about 15+ 97-03s

    I'm good on the DIC buttons, and I'm gonna hold off on doing much with the interior until I'm back in a normal part of the country... There's zero 04+ in the JYs up here, and shipping costs too much.

    I'll probably Franken-rig some things like heated seats and map lights/visor lights, the usual stuff that my car didn't come with for some reason... I'll send you a PM once I decide on a list of things I'm looking for, if you're willing to go hunting.
