Does anybody know where I can get a stick on applique for the shifter plate on my Cutlass? I know I've seen them before, but damned if I can find the company that makes or distributes them. My shifter plate has the usual damage up front from previous owners jamming the shift lever to far going into park. I've located another shifter plate, but the woodgrain is wrong, so I'm hoping to find some type of applique to put over top. I've seen them in a brushed aluminum finish. Thanks a bunch.

Thanks for the lead, but according to their website, BuickGN no longer ships to Canada. Too many complaints about the shipping costs. I can find from others Buick Regal/GN overlays, but nothing listed for the Cutlass. Are the Buick GN shifter plates the same as the Cutlass? If anyone can help let me know, and if anyone needs the measurements of the Cutlass plate I have attached a drawing showing them.
Thanks to all.

It's probably not right/accurate since it's not a GN overlay but it fits my Regal console like a glove and shifter fits too like it's supposed to (not that I care too much for accuracy since the cars more for go than show). I don't know how much difference there'd be considering most other things bolt right up from other g-body's...Anyway it's out of the car waiting for the floor shift swap so I can get it out anytime if you need anything else. I can also get you a DXF file (if you need) so you can take to a machine shop and have laser cut (since you're in CA and you're having issues getting it shipped up there). Hope that helps...

Sure does. Thanks for the photos, it looks almost identical size wise to the one in my Cutlass. I'm meeting with a fellow G body owner tomorrow night and have a look at the one he's got. It's for a 3 speed, but might be the same as the one for the 4 speed Automatic. Will let you know. I've downloaded your photos and will double check your measurements against my actual plate. Might be a good idea just to have a spare kicking around. Any idea on what you might want for it.

Thanks again.

Thanks for your time and effort. I understand you're not wanting to sell it. They are a bit hard to find that aren't damaged. I'll let you know the condition of the one I'm picking up tonight.

I have one if you want it - I thought the Olds didn't have the ash tray included where the Regal did.

Thanks for your help guys, you've been great. I really lucked out this weekend. A local contacted me and said he had a perfectly good, but to him not needed shifter plate, and for a cup of coffee it was mine. We met at the local donut shop and other than it's for a 3 speed auto. it's in great condition. No big deal in changing it over to the 4 speed, as Mikes Montes has the decal that is for the Buick, but will work for the Cutlass. A friend of mine out of the blue phoned me yesterday, he lives in St. Louis. Over the course of our chat I mentioned my problem to him. No sweat he says, buy your stuff and have it shipped to me, and then I'll mail you an early Christmas present.
I think I need to go and buy a lottery ticket.
Thanks again guys.
