Well, I really would not expect to run across a Canadian Tire store in the USA. :-)

If you're old enough, I hear "it's for people like you." :-)

Glad you got yours figured out.
Mine was there .. intact but could not read the letters anymore ... so ended up popping it out and giving it to my brother in law who took care of painting back the white letters and cleaning all around ... Shame that they do not sell that little part don't get it ...

thanks

I didn't have anything else at the time, so I used White Out for the letters. Still looks good.

Y'know normally I'm not a white car or white interior kinda guy, I just hate how easily it gets smudged....but I love your car. Absolutely beautiful.

Thanks for the comments dude ... you know when I first when and check out this car back in Sept. I was really unsure about the samething ... then I looked closer and closer and noticed that the interior was all wrong ... the (PO) butchered the inside :-( , anyhow... after making an offer and getting turned down I came back home and searched on the web and noticed and realized how nice the car could be if done properly ... The two tone interior is just killer

Thanks again !
Ralph

For next year ... but I had this question ...
I meant to put this in this thread ... some of you may know but did not say anything ... but the lower part of the front dash and the steering column is also supposed to be white/parchment....

Does anyone know if the lower part comes out (dash) ... or does it have to be painted in place ?

thanks
Ralph

Metal part of dash is welded to the A-pillar on each side and needs to be painted in place.
