Default Center vent and cluster surround

Where is a good place to get one of these? dC Automotive wants $100 for this piece and that seems way to much for that part imo.

Look on ebay as they are on sale all the time way cheaper than DCAuto Parts.

Cheers,

It's a damn expensive piece - over $500 for a new one.

I took 3 used ones to make one good one. Spent a lot of time cleaning it and figuring out a seal for around the edge of the flap door. I don't remember exactly what I used, but it seals perfectly and it won't deteriorate like foam.

I needed one a few years ago. It is over $500 new. Todd sold me one for a damn good price.
And for seal the trim to the slider mechanism you can use window weld, just make sure it's nice and clean when you do it. lol.

In a car with 85.5+ interior it is the black plastic piece that goes around the gauges then into the center. It houses the sliders for the center fan.

Thanks guys, I managed to pick one up in perfect condition for super cheap. Can't believe I didn't think about checking eBay.
