Alright everyone. I'm trying to find this: http://imageshack.com/a/img924/453/7axkJR.jpg

It's the black faceplate that goes behind the manual HVAC controls on my 1997 Pathfinder. I'm not looking for a white glow one. I just want a black replacement. My original as you can see in the picture is messed up. It has a layer of yellow gunk after years of use that I have had trouble removing. I assume it's a heavy deposit of skin oil. I've tried chemicals, degreasers and Oxyclean. I've tried scratching it off and even a dremel with a small polishing wheel. This has messed up the plastic and scratched it. Any leads on replacement?

Ebay is probably your best bet or a junk yard?

Thanks for your responses. A used one is what I had originally thought. Does any company make new ones that you can order similar to the white glow ones that can be bought new?
