This unique to the 1968 standard Cougar trim set is what outlines the gauge cluster face pad. It is unique to the 1968 standard Cougar as it is held in place by spring clips. The 1967 trim set is held in by Phillips screws. Please note that AC cars have a unique design in that the long lower trim has a cut out for the AC vent.
*NOTE* The spring clips that hold this trim to the dash bezels is very hard to come by. We usually have a few in stock but you may want to consider installing your dash face pad with thin strips of Velcro. The Velcro method holds the pad more evenly and will not "pucker" and makes the pad easier to remove without damage.
