Well, there are several places that I'm sure will be able to hook you up:

Total Performance in Clinton Twp., MI (might be in Mt. Clemens, I dunno for sure)

D&D Automotive Specialties http://www.mspmall.com/ddautospec

Kaufmann Products http://www.kaufmannproducts.com

I know you'll be all set once you contact some of these guys.

Have fun and good luck!!
