Chrono Pack Gauge Cover

The clear plastic cover over my Chrono/Speedo gauge is severely scratched. I would like to replace it. Does anyone know where I can obtain one without having to purchase the whole gauge cluster?

I wonder if there is a way to remove/repair the scratches rather then replace the glass/plastic cover.

Paint it? Can you really paint the clear cover?

If you need it replaced, you might just have to have one made for you.

I've used Novus plastic cleaner and polish to reduce/remove scratches on my tach/speedo. Might try that first.
I cleaned mine with the trim rings in place, but it would be easier with the trim ring removed.

Chrono gauge cover scratches

The scratches are pretty deep. I used PlastX and it removed some. I will try a few other fixes like Meguiars Mirror Glaze or the Novus products before I give up completely. Thanks for everyone's advice.
