Default Dash pad replacement

Is the 6LE a replacement dash pad or is it a cap? From the picture it appears to be a replacement, but from the description it sounds like a cap.

I was at one of the yards today. Only one 97+ car and some a**hole had trashed the dash to get the cluster out. There were a good number of 93-96 cars there. My score for the day was a set of ultra rare 2nd gen C&C t-tops. Dumb luck to find them and but I have a buddy who needs them.

I'll hit another yard on Wednesday and see what I can find. It's hit or miss as at least one other person who frequents the yards seems to know his f-bodies, as all the valuable stuff, even the little oddball things, goes fast.

I appreciate the effort! It sounds like your starting to have my luck! Hopefully you can come up with one! Not to be picky or anything but my car is a 99 with the light gray color.
