You're balking at $1.85? Hell the stainless screws, washers and nuts I
used to refasten my fender flares cost nearly that per hole. You need to
find a good truck and 4x4 salvage yard man :) I got half doors with
mirrors at a VA salvage yard for $300 (OEM costs over a grand! plus 70
bucks for the mirrors). This place has like 50 jeeps. I'd bet there's
something like it near you.

Yeah... These buttons are $1.85 for each one that goes in each hole.
Sure, $1.85 isn't a lot of money, but it just seems like a lot for a
tiny stamped piece of steel with a screw to go with it. I need about
25 of them and $46.25 just seems like a lot to me for the itty bitty
buttons. I'm a cheap b@stard. Sue me. :-)
