FWIW Moss has the black ones for sale of $6.95/fastener and $2.80/stud. More  
expensive than the chrome ones, sure, but they are OEM orginals.

I need a set of 4 studs for the tonneau cover on my new '96. While the Moss  
price is ok, the shipping charge ($4.90) is pretty steep for something that  
requires a $.32 stamp. Anybody have a cheaper source? (or better yet a few  
spares lying around)

Thanks!
