I had an aftermarket one put on after I bought my used 93 EV GL. I had hoped the dealer could find a leftover cruise kit from when the EV's were being imported, but after they inquired, I was told the only CC's came from the factory. I went down to a local aftermarket installer. Their installer had enough experience to fit the CC from components, rather than from specific model kits.
