Default Missing *****

Used the search feature this time ^_^

Well im checkin out this sc300 when i realize its missing the two ***** to the right of the steering wheel. its pretty obviouse, and looks kinda arwkard so im just wondering if i can replace this *****, or should i just not bother? If so around how much will the ***** cost / where can i get the ***** since i've never seen them on ebay or anything. Here is a pic:

Post WTB in the for sale section of the forums and see if someone has those *****.

those are your volume and temp *****. they are a one piece unit. You can't use the volume with the after-market head unit, but you need the temp to regulate between hot and cold.

Having those ***** removed is about as ghetto as the power wire ran through the drivers door jam.

well, you have that one wire running through what seems to be like the door jam, missing the controls, ignition bezel thing, and the fender is bent up (possibly the door hinges are bad, might want to replace both sides at the same time).... i'd offer like 2500, you'd be golden!!

I'd avoid this car. Being on a car lot, I'd guess they are looking for about $6k-ish. You can do much better than that one. It's hacked and beaten.

Dunno if it's just me, but that looks like a lot of rust by the master brake cylinder. Also, the tan shifter bezel is missing just beneath the dildomatic **** as mentioned above. The mini grill for the interior temp sensor is also missing on the dash. it can be seen through the spokes of the steering wheel in the first picture. Would like to see more pics from the driver's side. And yeah, that tiny tiny power cable running through the door jamb gotta go.

The fix for the fenders and the door hinges will be $$$.

Funny, no passenger airbag, so likely a 92... with everything it has missing, it has that damn flip out cup holder!

Also, with that shoddy job of a stereo install, they probably ripped up the factory harness, too. i would avoid. More headaches than its worth.

If it's a dealership car tell em to stick it and run for your life. There seem to be a lot better condition ones around. Try the classifieds here in case there are members looking to sell theirs

If I had an aftermarket stereo system I still wouldnt remove those ***** even if they are useless. Well, you still need the TEMP **** no matter what. I dont know what the owner was thinking? I say save some money and get them used through Aliga.

I think it is a bargain for 2g's...nothing more parts from Aliga and other club members will have it in shape in no time....
