From the research I done the only option for a new bezel is the stealership. Mine had most of the top clips broke and a large crack and did not like the price of the covers and trying to piece the clips together so I had a body shop friend ordered the parts from the dealer at her discount and passed it on to me. I could not bring my self to buy the aftermarket dash and have to paint or die it gray to try to match the the rest of the truck. A for the wrecking yard, good luck finding one and it not cracking while removing or installing it. Had a friend go through the used avenue ebay bezel 150.00 to the door and two attempts taking a dash out of wrecks another 200 or so to only have both cracking within a year.
I have been living with my eyesore of a dash because I just could not bring myself to spend that much money just for cosmetics, but I made the decision not to buy a new truck during this economy. So i give the truck a makeover, and the wife said fix the dash now since you have everything else fixed and looking good. So now I see it as the wife told me to fix it so its ok to spend the money on cosmetics.
Now to get the sct tuner and the 1.7 rockers.

That's what I've found, too. I was hoping you'd had better luck finding something else. Might I ask what you ended up paying for the nice new bit of plastic?

Mine's not so bad, just has one chunk missing right in front of the steering wheel. It's a handy little chunk to have missing, as my douchetooth fits right into it, but I have a severe mental allergic reaction to broken things.

Thanks for the follow up!

Unfortunately, due to losing my job this past weekend, I will not be following through with any of my plans with this truck. I'll be keeping her, but just won't be building it like I wanted.

Right now she needs:
New air filter (that bad boy is DIRTY!)
New tires
New rear drivers side brake light--I kinda got in an accident yesterday. That was the only damage.

So I'm hoping this is one of those when life hands you lemons, make lemonade moments, we'll see. This wasn't really the time to lose my job.

This is a scary time to lose a paycheck, that's for sure. I hope something even better turns up in short order.
