Default Map Light Delete

Does anyone know where to pick up a map light delete plate of some kind. I am missing the map light in my 90 GT and would rather not spend $30+ on a new one considering the wiring to it is gone anyways. But, I don't want the hole in my headliner either. I would go for a plastic one I can color match or if I must spend a little more, maybe a decent looking billet one. Thanks for any input.

Most headliners I've seen come pre-cut. If there is such a delete kit, that'd be great. I didn't even think of looking for one of those.

You would prolly spend more for the delete panel than the light itself.

I figured out a temporary fix ( but due to my laziness will probably be permanent ). I cut a chunk out of the cities trash can at my house, shaped it, sanded it, and colored it to match my interior. It actually has a texture very similar to the dash of the Mustang and doesn't look half bad. I'll see if anyone thinks it looks strange, but I seriously doubt anybody will have any clue it doesn't belong there.

I'm still trying, I don't know if it works with a Mac computer or not.
