I had so much success getting the scratches and blotches out of my clear gauge lens that I should have no problem making that one look nice. Hold that thought. There is someone on here who offered to look in a salvage yard for me. If he comes up empty handed I will definitely be interested in the one you have. When it rains it pours! I really thought it might be hard to find one!Thanks so much for the reply! Quote Selected

I have been looking on ebay quite regularly and it's about time one popped up!Well with this heads up I won the virgin NOS Tbird steering wheel trim on eBay. If it arrives here undamaged I will be very happy! I was very worried I would be grossly outbid and unable to compete in the end for a bid. Thanks again for the heads-up Dan! Quote Selected

I am very happy! It is flawless.The one thing I didn't realize is that since it is from a 1980-82 Tbird, it has a nice brushed aluminum perimeter with the black inset. This was a surprise bonus for me! I really didn't pick up on that from the eBay picture but now that I look again it's there. The 1983 models were all black or had the woodgrain perimeter.Dan, thanks again for the eBay lead! Seeing it when I opened the box made my day! Quote Selected
