Need help finding a part number! (large vent above the speedo)

For the life of me I can't find the part number of this thing.

Looking for the upper main vent that mounts above the speedo. Kind of looks like the infinity corporate logo in shape.

You can see it here:



... but it looks like they only offer it with the entire upper dash ($$$).

Can't seem to find it anywhere else. The mounting tabs on mine are broken and it vvvibbbbbbbratttes everywhere I go!

... help?

Can you remove the existing vent cover to see if there is a P/N? You may be able to quiet it with some silicone adhesive or a thin piece of felt.

You may also try to reach Anthony @ Otto's. But looking at the RealOEM site, it appears to be incorporated with the dash cover.

Adhesives will likely be the backup plan, if I can't find the real part number. I'd rather do it the right way, though....

Otto's couldn't find the part number either.

I was hoping someone might have broken this before and found a way to get this. I believe it was broken during a stereo install before my time...
