ArdWrknTrk Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 You don't really want aftermarket Joe. They're just tinfoil. Ask me how I know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ford F834 Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 X2 what Jim said. Stay away from aftermarket ones. I have heard nothing but bad things about them being a waste of money and a disappointment. There were some reproductions with the embossed letters that were decent quality but were quite expensive and don’t appear to be available any more. Hold out for a decent used copy... this one is priced too high considering the dent and holes from the missing trim panel, but they are around... https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F264522450243 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
