Default Need help with custom gauge face

I just picked up a used 08 xB2 for my wife and it has a custom gauge face installed. This gauge face is not to her liking and I would like to find out if there is anyone in the mid-atlantic area that could install the stock gauge face? Also, any idea where I could find a stock gauge face?

Thanks.

Dealership? If there is nothing in the classifieds on here already, I would post that you are looking for one. I'm sure there are a bunch of people who have them laying around.

I was just at one today. They don't sell the face as a separate item, just the whole set of gauges. I'd post to the classifieds, but I need a few more posts under my belt before the mods will allow me to post there. So if anyone is reading this and has one to sell... send me a PM.

Probably not a good bet on such a new model, but you could try Brandywine Foreign Car Parts in Upper Marlboro, MD. Not far from DC. They're kind of an upscale salvage yard... well, as upscale as they get. You can try giving them a call... sometimes they pull instrument clusters and put them into inventory, but sometimes they leave them in the cars in the yard and you have to go looking for them. The cars are organized my brand, so it's not hard to locate them. Give them a call and ask for Wil or Brian and see if they have any gen2 xB's in the yard at all.

You sure it's not an overlay like for the Gen 1xB's? There is also Rockville Salvage yard located in Fredrick or Crazy Ray's off of PeaceCross road in Beltsville.

lol, I know they are different but for a while there was a few people who made overlays for the gen 2's. I know cause a few of my friends with gen 2's have them. I was just hoping.
