Default Need some help with a part number... again.

I've been working with the dealer to get the dash replaced as the PO drilled holes in it to add radar detector lights. The part they ordered was: G91155254900700, but the instrument holes looked too small and there were no cutouts for the switches and ignition light.

Thanks for the help,

have you considered the carbon fiber overlays? that should cover those holes. IIRC Ma shaw has been recommended for these.

Hey Danny,
I think I'll stick with the leather for the dash and the rest of the car. Not that I don't like the carbon look, but for this car I want to stay close to factory.

Maybe you have to cut the holes out yourself? Different cars had different options but they only made one dash.

I have the same holes for a radar detector - guess it was popular during the 90's. Its non obtrusive IMO, so I'll keep it in there as its not bothering anything and was done well.

I was thinking that too, as I know the 96 didn't have the ignition light, but the mechanic had a look at it and said the instrument holes were too small. He figured they would rip if he tried to push them in.

That's the correct part number for a leather cover. No 'G' in my book though.

I guess I misunderstood that then. I have seen a couple of 96 993tts and noticed they didn't have the light. Danny's, who replied above, was one of the ones I saw and I don't think his has the light.

91155254900700 is just the leatherette material, not a solid piece of metal. (at least it was when I ordered that part number a few months ago!)

96 here and no light over the ignition hole.

I'm wondering if a professional shop that repairs dashboards and interiors could cover those holes up and somehow blend everything in, just a thought if you can't locate the correct part or don't want to cut out holes into a new dash.

That was what arrived, but do you remember if the instrument holes looked small? Did you fit it yourself or have a shop install it?

Edit: Just read Vincent's reply. Actually, that would make sense. I'll get in touch with the dealer and see if they still have the last one there.

Thanks for the help,

Its smaller holes because the material is glued behind the metal section
