Default WTB: Uncracked Center Vent

Looking for an uncracked center vent in perfect shape.

LMK price shipped to 60073 if you're selling one.

I doubt such a thing exists. Even if one is still out there somewhere with no cracks, odds are it won't remain that way through the difficult removal process. You might need to lower your standards a bit from perfection.

I don't mean to be critical of your opinion t2d2, but those vents aren't difficult to remove at all if you take your time. And ultimately these cars deserve nothing short of perfection. When your SC is like Dmitry's SC then you start getting picky about the little things. In the end it's the details that count most. Just my $0.02.

Okay, if we're talking a show quality car then I certainly appreciate that attention to detail. However, what are the odds that someone who would take the time to carefully remove the ultra-rare perfect center vent, would actually part with it? (And none of the tutorials describe the need to remove the stereo to get to the far left clip which will inevitable shatter otherwise; it just came up in discussion recently.) It seems to me, the only way you'll find one in that condition is to search old dealer stock for the discontinued item.

Thanks for the responses guys. I'll stay optimistic that someone has a used one laying around. Otherwise I'll try some dealerships to see if they can still order a new one.
