I've been looking for a good six months for the same vent trim. The problem is that they are insanely brittle and hard to find unbroken. I've found cars in the junkyard with good ones but can't seem to remove the driver's side without cracking it.

What I ended up doing is getting the vent trim from a 940, which will fit length-wise, and dremeling the rounded edge parts. This does 2 things: it trims the width to fit the 740 dash and it gives it almost the same square look of the 740 vents.

They are a lot easier to get out and the plastic doesn't get so brittle in the sun.


The shifter plastic is easy however. You can usually find a car with an unbroken one in the junkyard.
