I've got the cluster (thanks Southern Pride) but I need a pic of the trim that goes around it so I know exactly how to cut it for install. Or am I off base with trimming out the middle and all I need to do is shorten the trim piece and this snaps in? If anyone has ever installed one of these before I'd appreciate the input. Its going in a Towncar so I might have to get fancy with it but I'm just curious what I'm looking at here. Thanks mangs.

That cluster just replaces the center vent ducts in the dash of vics if I'm not mistaken.Chris - A 20th Century Man \m/ ^.^ \m/ -
I don't think so. I thought left side of the ceter rectangle of the dash on the passanger side.

yeah, it sits over above the glove box. I haven't seen enough really good pics to know for sure but it seems like either that panel directly above the glovebox is either hollowed out and this snaps in, or its simply shortened and snapped in place.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).
