Guage Panel

Help! The clear plastic gauge panel face on my 85 IROC looks like c**p! Its no longer available through the dealership. Of course you can't find a decent one in the junkyard and all the resto companies seem to only go through second gen. Anybody know of a company making reproductions?

I couldn't find one for my car either. I replaced it with some flexible clear plastic that I got from my work. Works like a champ and is crystal clear.

I have taken my firebird clear plastic face panel and simply polished it with some really fine automotive paint polishing compound. I like the white 3m hand polishing compund

Worth a shot if your going ot replace it anyway.
