Same story here. The little stuff like hardware were plentiful. No more...

Yeah, stuff like that is easy and cheap to do. Not that most people would know the difference but it makes me feel good. Even when I modify a truck I try to do it like the factory would have done it or make it appear like it was a factory option.
