    Yeah so when i was painting my car i had previously painted the front of my dash black and after doing the top of it blue i decided i should clear coat them at the same time. so i peeled off all of the masking plastic and tape to cover the black and clear coated it and didn't think anything of it until i realized i had taken it off the plastic for the instrument cluster like an idiot.

    Then i tried to wipe it off wich only made it worse. i have tried many things to get it off or even just clear enough to see through decently.. nothing worked.

    How much is the plastic to replace it? where do you find it/how to make it? how hard is it to do?
    OR
    Should i just cut it out and be sure to dust it off often?

    If you are talking about the clear lens I'm 95% sure they are the same as Mustang, which are reproduced.

    Hi Forest:
    Just replaced the lens you're writing about on my Daughters Maverick . The Part No.# is 10887-A ( Lens w/o tach)
    and it lists for 34.65 from NPD .. their number for Georgia is 1-800-874-7595 .
