Stupid question. Gear faceplate?

A 91` civic I'm about to get is fine except the faceplate for the gear ... faceplate is really faded, to the point where its almost guess work to figure out what speed its at.

Is it possible to buy a new... gear face plate?

Sorry.

The display for what gear you're in. Park, reverse, forward. That jazz. The lettering and such had faded so much its guess work figuring what gear its in. Was wondering if its possible to buy another.. plate that says the setting.

Im guessing its automatic?

You can probably cant buy a new one, ive never seen an automatic shifter where the gear display was seperate from the trim peice... i mean, you could probably find one at a junkyard, cut it out, and glue it in, but it would probably be easier just to swap the entire trim peice over.
