I always wanted the chrome bezels for my shifters, also did chrome door locks for the DTR. Looks better imho

Nice! I have armrests that are brand new. You can send that one to Me for a core I can send You a fresh one. Lmk

I just checked the LKQ website, the Whictita Kansas LKQ has two Grand Marquis's in stock on June 10th and the picture show wood steering wheels. I don't know how close you are to there, but the wheels are less than 30 bucks and they have a lot of the other parts shown on those two cars that would work on the DTR.
The all of the wood steering wheels from a 1998 to 2004 Towncar are direct swaps. Grand Marquis steering wheels direct swap in either wood or the deluxe leather wheels that have the multi function switches. The problem is going to be finding a dark charcoal steering wheel in either wood grain or the right switches. I looked for the last several years at all of my local junkyards for a wood grain wheel for my Sport. I finally bought a tan one and used Color Bond paint code 327. That's the closest color match to Dark Charcoal that I could find. Summit has the paint for the best price. And like everything Ford makes, the earlier the wood wheel, the nicer quality wood. 1998-99 wheels are thicker with nicer feeling leather compared to the 03/04 wheels.
The 1998 Towncar wheel after I painted it and put it in my Sport. The color isn't quite an exact match, but it's close enough.

That's awesome. Can you pull me a header panel for my wrecked 04 DTR
03-05 Grand Marquis works
I could but it would be about the same price as an aftermarket one from the bay, and it would have to be next weekend before I could pull it... and shipping would be a bish. Of course I could do all that and hold it if you wanted to make a trip down here somewhere to meet.
This one is the only one in good shape.
