Who Has Reproduction 82-92 Camaro Dash Pad?
Do you have the $400 reproduction dash pad? If so, I'd love to see some pictures of yours and hear your feedback on the quality of it. Talking to a vendor (was close to ordering) and he stated he could get it but didn't list it due to poor quality...

I know when I had ordered one from Classic Ind. for my TA, they were No Stocked due to Research and development,so apparently they are having trouble with them,so I would assume the same with the Camaro ones also.

What a terrible problem to have. I need a dash pad and am ready to spend money on it but want something good quality...
Anyone have any thoughts?

You could have Just Dashes redue your original. Will probably be better then the chinese aftermarket one.

I have seen some of their dashes and have been really impressed with the work. Looks totally stock.

Does anyone have a closeup of the grain from one of the reproduction pads?

Re: Who Has Reproduction 82-92 Camaro Dash Pad?
This is from someone who seen one.
ast summer, I met a gentleman a few towns away who is the original owner of a beautiful 85 IROC survivor car. Frustrated with the aftermarket repops, he send his pad to Just Dashes. After talking a bit, we compared his 'restored' pad with an original. I'll admit, his Just Dashes pad looked great from 10' away, but up close the differances were very obvious. The grain in the vinyl wasn't even close, the speaker cut-outs were a joke. The only thing they got half-way right was the plastic side vents which were the repop ones avaibable to everybody.
He paid $750 for the 'restoration' plus $180 in round trip shipping. Needless to say, hes' not happy.
That is a quote from someone else on another dash pad thread.

Re: Who Has Reproduction 82-92 Camaro Dash Pad?
Yeah, no thanks. LOL
I'm glad I did some reading on the reproduction pads before buying, I was ready to add it to my cart. Although I am a bit perplexed that nothing of decent quality is available.

You can call Classic and see if the Camaro pad is available,the Firebird wasn't,maybe their are no issues with the Camaro pads.

There is a guy in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada who has a yard full (100's)of 1st to 4th gen Camaros. The business is called David T's Camaro and Firebird. He has a web site or his number is 780 454 3330. He has all of the little, obscure parts that are hard to find.

Re: Who Has Reproduction 82-92 Camaro Dash Pad?
its a sad day when we cant buy american made parts for american cars.but here we are,where everythings made of "chineseium". i looked at all the alternitives,in the end i got a dash pad from a parts yard with not too many cracks,after a good scrubbing (it had turned grey) i treated it with mink oil and im satisfied .nice deep black shiny AND supple, i highly reccomend it.it works on the plastic trim on our cars too

Re: Who Has Reproduction 82-92 Camaro Dash Pad?
I contacted this guy as I thought he might be able to help... He thinks his pads are made of gold... He's asking well over $600 for a used one. Thanks... But No thanks.
