JAZ Products has a pretty wide variety. Don't know if they ever bothered with a Pontiac. If not, a roll of tape and an hour will do it.

Checked the JAZ site. No good. Looks like tape and a razor.

Really? I read on the site that they are "Made in the U.S.A. from 100% U.S.A. Billet Aluminum"

https://www.medicemfg.com/product_view.php?pid=42

Of course, I could have missed something somewhere.

I read it on the "Home" Page, I agree with you , It looks like they are saying they are made out of Billet Aluminum, I am confused ......

Well. If anyone is interested. I received the kit. And it's definitely plastic. Oh well, they will do the job. A plus is, They came with a nice bolt kit.

Bummer but will still work better vs tape.

I have made block off plates out of plywood. Really Easy.

Well that's bull****.

They have "Made in the U.S.A. from 100% U.S.A. Billet Aluminum" all over their website, including on the Pontiac block off kit page, and they send you something made of plastic?

I'd send it back just on principal.
