'Carbon Fiber' radio/AC face plate needed

[Steve Krusich]

I messed up the carbon fiber faceplate that surrounds the radio/AC controls on my 2007 Limited. I can't figure out how to add the pictures but they are in my library.



Anyone happen to have one or know of a source?



ANY help will be appreciated!

Aftermarket CF kit Steve? If so, see "Product Options".

Steve, Long time since we talked....thanks for the lead. I found an OEM radio bezel for $270 which is outrageous. Carid has several options...I may just go with a complete set of a dark wood overlay for a lot less $ but I am having trouble visualizing the appearance.



The reason I need a replacement is that I used a gel type pad on the top of the radio bezel made to keep your phone from sliding. It badly marred the OEM finish.



Thanks again for the help!

Check www.car-part.com as it is a list of parts from junk yards around you. You can get one from a 2007-2010 Trac or a 2006-2010 Ford Explorer/Mercury Mountaineer

Decided to try to find a used OEM since the dash overlay kits required so many pieces and became costly. The part has been discontinued by Ford with suggested retail of $360. Called about 30 salvage yards in the US and Canada. Only one had the 'carbon fiber' with the digital climate control opening and it was in Canada. Messing up my radio bezel was a careless, time-consuming and costly mistake. Ended up costing about 1/3 of a new one.



Thanks to each of you for the help. Would not have found it otherwise!
