Default Dash trim needed

Before I go and shell out $80-160, I wanted to toss out a request here. I need the trim for the dash that goes above the cluster and glove box. I have the piece at the windshield but the car didn't come with the others. Anyone?

OK, which photo is your car? Or are they just samples? This trim can be had complete, new, for $150. I suggest you find it used, by calling dealers who sell used parts, or checking eBay.

they are pretty expensive because they aren't manufacyured anymore, so people sold the old ones from scrapyard for big money.
wonder where 2+2 found new ones? mustang barn?

i got mine off ebay ... maybe you get lucky ...

Neither car pictured is mine, as mine doesn't have these.

Most of the Mustang sources have them - for a price... I've put the ones you linked to from sleezebay in my watch list yesterday. I want to look around a bit before I bid as once I bid on these, it'll be a price that insures they're mine.

Nice price, of course 3 days to go. No mention of the clips, so they'll need to be bought. And yes, the Mustang Barn now lists them new. Not cheap, the tooling must be a bear.

ya, must be new. i think last time i checked a few years back they only got be gotten used.
as for ebay, that's the way to go. hold your horses, pretend you don't exist.
have your computer synched up with timeserver so it's synched with ebay by the second. have a 2nd window open with the same auction. hit bid button a minute before make sure you are logged in enter a price you want to pay, hover over the bid button and hit it 2 secs before the end and confirm.
either it's yours or it isn't. the great thing is that no matter what you bet (what you are prepared to pay), only what the last bidder wanted to spent plus another dollar is the price
as well if it's over the price you were prepared to pay you just skip on it. this way you don't run the risk, ah another ten another ten another 20 ... rubbish. either you get it what you want to pay for or you don't without any bidding

was prepared to spend 2500 for my engine, put it all in and it was mine for 1800 :-)

I made one about 3 years ago it worked but looks out of place. A few months ago I checked eBay and got one really cheap the guy had two sets at the time. Didn't think I could get them around 30 bucks. I would say be patient and try ebay never know. I found some one who sells them new but was out of my price range, over $150.
