Classic Industries OER Dash Pad - Who owns it?!

Does anyone here actually own the new Classic Industried OER dash pad that has been out for a couple years? It's like $450 bucks and I would like some feedback from people who are critical before I buy it.

I've tried 3 so called *mint* dash pads and either they are damaged in transit or they begin to crack very soon after installing. My stock one lasted for 18 years until it was smashed by Safelite auto glass installing my new windshield.

Anyone???

Thanks!

Re: Classic Industries OER Dash Pad - Who owns it?!

I thought that the Dash Pad were the same for both Camaro and Firebirds?!?!

I went into the thread to look at the pic's, and it looks exactly the same as the one in my 87 GTA!

Lol, then you have a Camaro dash.

They are VERY different.

I think the firebird dash pads are a little shorter, and have removable speaker grille/vents, and the camaros do not.

Also don't have the indentation in the front middle where the vents are on the Camaro. Also the Firebird dash has a little more rounded edge I think.

My speaker cover is fabric, not a plastic grill like the pic.

Re: Classic Industries OER Dash Pad - Who owns it?!

Some of the upper level Firebirds had the cloth speaker covers on the dash... By the late 80's they were all the plastic grills.

The side defrost vents are also different on the Firebird dashes.

Re: Classic Industries OER Dash Pad - Who owns it?!

I bought the one for the Camaro last year and I think they are decent....It does'nt have the holes predrilled or anything but you can see where the screws go....I've bought more than one used pad and within a year they are cracked, so they are worth it.
