Sam (Bones) Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 the dash caps are a joke, try just dashes are replace the whole dash pad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rock Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 I bought mine off of hi tech classics on EBAY. Fits pretty good. Not Perfect But I Think When It Warms Up And Things Become More Pliable In The Summer I WILL Screw It down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rock Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 I haven't screwed it down yet. I am waiting for a good hot day to do that. I think all they have is black though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CKZ03 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 I got my dash pad from OPGI and it fit perfect, one of few parts I can't complain about. BUT it's mated to a new repro dash housing, I wonder if the repro pad fits better to the repro dash housing than to an original dash housing??? I guess I can complain about it a little. I didn't like the ROUGH and unfinished look at the defrost vent area so I did spent some time trimming that out to look ALOT better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbolt Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 SEM makes dye that works well on the dash pad. Never tried dying a cover however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jared Richey Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 The Dash Caps work very well for 78-88 G-Body cars where replacing an entire dash takes hours worth of work and a new one is very expensive. If you look at a swap meet or check local classifieds you can sometime find an original for $150-200. But otherwise the New Pads themselves I've heard fits good, they are made by different people, and some are better than others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
