Sorry man that wheel is too messed up for me.
Let me check, I think I may have a vent in that color to replace that broken one.
Damn wish mine was quiet. That thing makes more noise than a rolling bucket of big rocks.
Buy a good sun shade and save that nice dash. Oh and put some Armor All on it right now. They still get dry in the winter.

Thanks bunch guys! I'm loving the car lol, yes I took off the gauge clusters glass cause it was all gross and yellowish lol. moneypit, you'll have to see the wheels when I'm done with them their actually in better shape than you think I'll tap that lil piece down and use some weslys bleach and they will look new again lol. I'd love if I could get some of the small nicnacks fixed. The car only had one hvac knob when I got it lol I'll update more later, thinking I'll wash it again tomorrow aftr work we'll see

There's no lens on the cluster? That's weird! I miss driving a Beretta in the winter.

Looks like I do have a vent in that color. It's just a shell though. If your deverters or what ever the inside is called is in good you could swap your parts in. I do have a few black ones to part out too and could rebuild that one. Just let me know.
