    I used reproduction parts for a Mustang to repair my Maverick's cowl - just had to work them in to fit :thumbs2:

    The tachometer is a Rotunda which is a Ford trademark. It said Rotunda right on the tachometer. It has been my experience they are hard to find and if you do find one it will be expensive. I believe there used to be reproductions but they have been discontinued. Probably had trademark implications.

    if my trim code on the car is 06 i know the seats are white crush vinyl and trim is black does that mean the carpet would be black cause the car has no carpet at this time.
