Are you referring to the upper & lower column covers or the one piece snap together circular trim?

1990-93 Mustang Upper Steering Column Cover by Ford at LRS - Same Day Shipping!

Like that, but I need upper/lower for an 87 with tilt. I also need the panel under the column, I think its called a knee guard or something like that, but I can't find it either.

Well, the column covers will be ready to ship in a couple of weeks.

The lower dash panel will still need to be sourced used.

That's good news, I am having a hard time finding the column covers. As for the knee panel, I can find them, but most of them have broken tabs and what not.

Thanks for the fast replies, and if you can remember to update this thread when they are ready to ship that would be great.

You can add a headliner kit. It is not a direct fit, but with the addition of snaps or velcro it will go right in.

Thanks because those frames disturb me. Do you know if it'll affect the top going down?
