Gauge Cluster Plastic - 94+ (Textured) LHD - Anyone Make These?

The joys of NLA items.

Does anyone have a source for these? I'd prefer a stock appearance as opposed to carbon fiber, etc.
Does anyone know of printers or companies making these? Any tricks to refinish a 93 to appear like a 94 texture?

I've been able to find most other items, either printed, injection molded, or factory new, but these seem to be a bit elusive. A few people make the rear hood portion, but not the gauge surround.

I'm not aware of any options besides good used. A.I. One might make you a one that is close to the '94+ finish but it's going to cost you a lot.

Yeouch - you're not wrong there. It's a lot as a one-off. He does some amazing work though. I've got a few of his other items from group buys/pre-orders which are spendy but in the realm of reasonable for great quality.

Looks like I may just need to do SEM Texture Coating with 93 parts and hope for the best.

I'm looking for the gauge surround portion - the face? Basically what you look at when you look at the gauges. Has the light pop-up button and cruise buttons in it - whatever that is called.
I have the rear curved hood-like portion of the metering hood the face connects to - but it does have a blemish in it so I'm not opposed to returning it.
