This was not a stock part, rather it was part of the dealer-installed made in USA AC package. The stock dash has a (usually black) vinyl pad on top and painted metal on the face. The bottom is open. Someone here probably has an AC dah unit that they can sell you, but I don't recommend the AC. (Please don't get me started. Perhaps someone else will be willing to reiterate the many downsides of the AC in the type 3s.)
