    Now thats a cool find! God, I love this site. (y)

    The one on our Mav was brownish looking and you couldn't really see though it, I just took it off and ran without one for a month or so until we found a decent one in the Pull A Part.

    For some reason, it is super tempting to friends to reach in and play with the speedometer needle when there is no plastic face over it. :16suspect

    :clap:

    What I'll do is call Ron Miller at AutoKrafters on Monday and see if he can get them as a center only. That should drop the price to a more managable level. If it will happen I'll post it here first.

    NPD listed them for $40 something. If its just the center set they should come down about $10--In theory. I'll pay $30 to be able to to see my gauges...

    What if we had a permanent section that listed stuff that cross bread between Maverick, Comet and other Fords? We might find that there is more in the world that fits our cars...

    Now about that rear valance panel...:yup:

    To my knowledge, no rear valance from a stang will bolt on. Having an interchange section on this site would be a great help.

    I'll take a look at the valance panels. I have one off of my 70 Boss 302 and I have a Mav one off too. I'll let you know if there is much difference. I too would love to be able to use a Mustang one with the exhaust cutouts.:)
