There's a plate for the console like you need on Ebay right now. I THINK it's about $50.00 They are getting harder to find. Go buy it.

Ooh that's a bit steep for me. Mine is sun faded, so much that it's completely silver, I've never seen one like that before.

That's actually , by todays prices, a fair price for one. Our parts are getting harder and harder to find, so one should grab them when they can. I have small stickers that replace the markings on the console panels. You have to first sand and paint the panel, apply the graphics, then clear them. Mine has worked great for about 2 years now. Still looks new. I'll try to post a pic later.

There's a company called DANCO lettering that specializes in restoration graphics for our Foxes.  Here's the home link:  http://www.dancolettering.com/store/turbocoupe.php


A GREAT how-to with pictures to refurbish your console switch plate can be found here:

This is a picture of the graphic from the DANCO web site:

Here's a blurry picture of my switch plate after following the "how to":

50 bucks for one in nice shape is cheap.
