3 small issues (pics)
The CL is new to me and came with some small problems that I have been trying to fix.
1- the driver side heat/ac vent is loose. It's still attached to the duct inside, but it slides down all the time and leaves a gap.
I bought some epoxy, but had second thoughts. Anyone have experience gluing to the vinyl dash?
2- Something's missing from center console or whatever it's called, under the stereo.
what goes here? where can I get one? any other ideas about something custom to put in there?
3- The center caps were all jacked up and yellow and scratched up 'n shit. I sanded 'em all up and spray painted them, but the sheen wasn't there, so i bought a different kind that said it was specifically for aluminum chrome - it had pictures of cars on the front, so i thought hell, this has gotta be it. Results:
any suggestions? or is this as good as it gets without buying new caps?

Sanding was bad idea. Polish or cleaner would have worked much beter.
A lot of people like the look with the center caps off, but it looks like your wheels are chrome so that might look a bit different than the silver.
A lot of people have aftermarket wheels so they may have center caps lying around and would be willing to sell or give to you. I think I only have two, but I'll check. They're yours if I can find them and you're close by.

you're right, the wheels are chrome. i'd like to get new ones anyway, for the summer at least. . . but for now i wish the caps would match.
i'd definitely be interested if people have chrome caps lying around, i'm in Utah, probably not close by. . .
