Looking for woodgrain dashboard bezel for 2000 LTD after mechanic caused damage

[pmw42069]

Hello I'm looking to source the dashboard bezel for a 2000 T4R LTD. It is the woodgrain. Does anyone know the least expensive way to source. I've looked online a bit and see prices in the $150ish range.

Did the make more than one variation on the wood like light/dark? The photos Ive seen dont look quite right and I want to make sure I dont buy something that is mismatched.

A crack occurred after the mechanic installed my heater control valve. I dont know why the would have touched the interior dash but there also appears to be a pry mark from a tool on the vinyl where the crack is. Any thoughts on how this could have occurred?

Any help on this is much appreciated.

1) Change mechanics.
2) I believe the wood "Tone" did change, something like 99-00 and 01-02 had different tones entirely. So get one that matches yours.
3) They don't make them anymore so 150 is about right if/when you can find one.
4) Swap everything out for the basic black or some other trim and then you'd get it matching. All the other basic trim colors are probably cheaper than this one part (which tends to fail as people pull it apart and don't know how to).

pmw, I'm not sure if you're on FB, if you are there's a guy in the 3rd gen mafia group named Josh Young. I'm pretty certain he can source you one. I think like Locked said, 150$ ish is what you're going to expect to pay, give or take.

Like lockedlex said, 99-00 are a different shade/pattern of wood grain trim and $150-200 for a complete one in good condition is normal. When I broke mine in my limited it was about $150 for all the trim pieces to replace my wood grain trim to black. I was never really a fan of the wood grain trim anyways.
