You can either buy a whole new center piece from the dealership or buy the vinyl replacements and stick them on your existing piece. You will need to remove the rest of the faded bird though. I believe Brent Franker has the vinyls you want. Just google his name and you will find his site.

Or wet-sand & polish to a nice clean look, ...

Or go to the 'For Sale' forum & buy one of those polished units!

Then add the CETA mod on the lower section, ...
