Some of the PTs have color keyed dash panels that match the exterior color of the cruiser, but all of the others have silver dash panels. The color you want would be the silver.

As to the Rapid Craft spoke covers. I took some clear packing tape and used a thin strip to tape down the edges. I can still feel the seam, but holds it pretty tight.

A suggestion for more painting: I painted the overhead console (temp/compass/reading lights), the dome light trim ring, and the transmission bezel to match the dash inserts. The overhead pieces are a little dark in Aqua to get the full effect, but would be awesome in inca gold!

Be careful there! The early cars that didn't match the exterior color used PEWTER, not the bright silver as on the exterior. Later models did use a silver color, as well. Not sure, but should be a color code somewhere, shouldn't there?
