The clear plastic face (that you look through to see the gauges) on my instrument cluster has several cracks forming and are slowly getting bigger. So, I need either a new clear plastic piece, or a whole new instrument cluster, then I can take the clear plastic piece off and put it on mine. So I was wondering if anyone knows where I can get the clear piece or an instrument cluster for cheap. Anyone on here have any for sale?

Secondly, while I have the instrument cluster out, I want to get new (white-face, or silver-face) gauges. I currently have some very nice silver-faced ones in where the the numbers light up green or blue, but i want to replace them because they produced a few small wrinkles which look bad. I would like the same style (not the indiglow gauges where the WHOLE face lights up) just the style where the numbers light up. But I was thinking the gauges on promotiontuning were a little pricey. Are there any alternatives that will get me out under $99? Anyone on here have any for sale?

I figured I could rig something up with the clear piece though (like rotozipping it out and putting it on with a bead of urethane or something), otherwise I can take that piece off a new gauge cluster (I believe the clear piece is attached to the black shroud) and put it on my cluster. But I was just wondering where i could find it at a decent price. I do see that there is one on Ebay for $15 with $15 shipping. I'll see if I can get that before the auction ends, but I couldn't find it on teamford or rockauto...I meassaged Bill from TeamFordParts but i didnt get a reply yet...

Oh, if anyone can get a decent one from a junkyard near by that would be awesome. But the cougars in all the junkyards by me are completely stripped clean...

The lens is only held on with 5 clips (IIRC) comes off easy
