Default Clear dash len for gauges?

Hi and Merry Christmas to all.
I was putting in a set of silver gauge over lays in my 01 TA.When I was putting the bezel that snaps around the gauges, what a bitch this parts was
to get out and back in. One of the snaps scratched
the clear lens.Does anybody know where the best place to buy this and the part # for this part.I think I will drop the steering column down a little when I put this new lens in.
Thanks

Would like to know as well, but I'm guessing Ebay. I would want a new piece though, because the ones on Ebay will have scratches in them as well. Do you know where to get those clips at? I broke one of mine.

If the scratch isn't too deep, I would try some lens polish and if it is deep, some 1600 grit wet sanding then compound, then lens polish. What do you have to lose? You can always replace it if it looks bad.

Mine is a deep scratch also.As far as the clips I would say dealer or salvage yard.I found it very hard to get that part out.When I get the new lens I am going to take the stering column bolts out so it can drop down,that I hope will give me enough run for it to go right in.
