WTB - Plastic Gauge Surround

tim7777 · 10-04-2007, 06:32 PM

I am looking for a black plastic gauge surround in good to excellent condition to replace the one in my 1988 Mustang. By plastic gauge surround I'm referring to the piece that surrounds the gauges and holds the light switch, hazard switch, fog light switch, etc. Please see the attached photo for an example of what I'm looking for.

Note: The photo is one from a 1992 Mustang. I am looking for one from a 1987–1989 Mustang.

The one on my 1988 Mustang is in pretty bad shape and will need to be replaced. It appears a previous owner took a drill to it to mount some aftermarket gauges.

If you have one for sale, please send me an email with a photo and your asking price. If you are unable to send an email, please leave me a PM and I’ll respond asap.

Thanks!

what's the difference in the style you want and one like the one pictured? i'm about to buy a parts car and that's one of the good pieces, but idk if it's from post or pre 90

tim7777 · 10-09-2007, 12:24 PM

The 1987-1989 is just a little different than 1990-1993 . . . the part that meets up to the bottom of the gauge cluster is a flatter curve to match the airbag column and instrument cluster. Plus, in 1990 they did away with the four light "information center". The 4 light information center is at the bottom, right hand side of the gauge cluster. I just couldn't find a good photo of the 1987-1989 gauge cluster.

tim7777 · 10-09-2007, 05:31 PM

That looks to be the right one for a 1987 - 1989. PM with a price.

thatdavidkid · 10-10-2007, 06:46 PM

thatdavidkid · 10-16-2007, 05:42 PM

if you pay for shipping, i can pick it up, i'm going to that guy's house tomorrow but he doesn't wanna ship..

tim7777 · 10-17-2007, 08:21 AM

I would still like to see some better photos of the surround to determine it's condition. I don't mind paying shipping, but really want to see what it looks like first. Also, I'm going to be in the Grapevine area the first weekend of November and could actually meet and save the shipping cost.

Thanks!

thatdavidkid · 10-17-2007, 07:04 PM

ok well i didn't make it out tonight, i'll take some pics tomorrow of it..
