Default Back trim

I have seen conversion vans with these replaced by some kind of same car color covers.
Does any one know where they sell them? The ones I saw do not have that irregular shape.

This is called a halo. In some models, color matched, smooth halos are an option.

Sorry , I have no idea what the part number is , I was just going to go to the junkyard sometime ,
its a part that will still probably be on a junkyard van , most of the good stuff gets picked pretty quick.

I might also get the center piece so I can modify it for a longer LED center brake light since I have a box of new Hella center brake lights

I just replaced the bulbs in the center brake light with LED bulbs. It's a noticeable difference, and easy.

Color matched halos are not easy to find in a junk yard. I check out Express vans on the road all the time, and haven't seen but 2 or 3. Your best bet for part numbers is a dealer. The GM parts sites don't list them, but they don't list a lot of stuff.

All the later front grill models , I think thats 2003 and newer had the smooth ones

and all the 2002 with the early nose had the "fancy" ones.....
