Help with finding out what this is called and where to get one.

Can someone tell me what the strip in the middle here is with the foglight, rear defroster and rear hatch release buttons is called, and where I might find a replacement. It is the only thing missing from the new interior I have waiting to go in, and I need to find one. I don't want to start until I can make sure all the pieces are right.

The old one is held in by two bolts up into the bottom of the gauge cluster and two jagged strips of metal that stick out. I swear... I don't know much about cars, but I know they need to be fixed the right way, and not the half-*** way.

Here's the pic:

Although I can't see the picture, that part should be part of the gauge cluster trim. There are usually lots of them on Ebay.

I would look for that piece at a junkyard if you have one nearby, those plastic parts can be had for cheap! ebay usually has stuff like that, but it's usually a rip off by the time you factor in shipping prices, other bidders etc.

I looked at the pics of my car and i def have one, it is still on the car but whatever... it will be complelty parted soon so make me a reasonable offer and it is yours, mine is from a 91 Firebird. Shipping will be auctual shipping... I was also looking at 82 Iron Duke's business, seems like a cool idea you can try him out also. I dont want to take away business from anyone, only trying to help someone out...
