Cory is the guru on this if I remember correctly. But only 85 & 86 had burled wood bezels, and 85 faded badly. However 86 doesn’t seem to have, so that is probably an 86.

Apparently not that sore, purchased. Need the matching center trim too now.

And I suppose you think that is helpful

I need to check, but I think the XL one will work!

Thanks for the links, I need an XL with clock cut outs. My wallet is temporarily saved ;)

I bought one off Ebay a while back and when I went to install it, it was noticeable different in color. The one I bought has a red/pink hue to it, which doesn't match at all.

Is it from a different year, or a completely different trim line?

From what I understand the burl wood is used in 85/86. The ones from 85 tend to fade and go pink, but the ones from 86 no so much.

I am sure someone will correct if this understanding is incorrect.

I did not know you could swap the emblems. Looks like I am spending all my pocket money for the month.
